One Step Forward (B-side Mix|Remastered) - Paul Young

I'm sending you these letter's

Across miles and miles of water

Tell Stevie that I saw his friend

And the mother that I love her

Well I know I haven't been here long

And I know it seems much longer

Every letter you write back

Makes me a little stronger

Everybody here has see

As many years as me

Only now they realize

What they are here to see

So I'll take my pen and

I write you a note

And send it off in a letter

And we'll hope that

Writing my troubles down

Make me feel better

One step forward and one step left

I raise my gun and I take my aim

I'm just a pawn in the government's game

The first day I was posted

Was the longest I have known

I can't believe the bitterness

The human heart can show

The hatred of another is

A blindness in their eyes

All I do is stand between them

Wondering why

One step forward and one step left

I raise my gun and I take my aim

I'm just a pawn in the government's game

Little boy stands with stones in hand

And cold eyes of steel

I wish I could throw my riffle down

And tell them how I feel

Well I know I haven't been here long

And I know it seems much longer

But every letter you post to me

Makes me a little stronger stronger
