I was going to post this as a reply to another thread, then thought better of it. Although this song is about the Vietnam war, it can be about any war, past and present really. For the soldiers, from all walks of life, rich, poor, lower, middle or higher class, they all make up the bands of soldiers. All of which give their lives to helping you live in yours with more ease. Without soldiers many of us would not have the ease we have today. I wanted really to recognise soldiers, not only what they went through when serving, but also the aftermath of that. To recognise the memories they must hold in their minds of various attrocities, sights, smells and visions of war, that haunt them.

YouTube - Pink-live in NYC-I have seen the rain-1st time with her dad!

I HAVE SEEN THE RAIN - PINK

I have seen the rain
I have felt the pain
I don't know where I'll be tomorrow
I don't know where I'm going
I don't even know where I've been
But i know I'd like to see them again.

Spend my days just searching
Spend my nights in dreams
Stop looking over my shoulder baby
I've stopped wonderin' what it means
Drop out, burn out, solidier ho-oh they've said I should've been more
Probably so if i hadn't of been in that crazy damn Vietnam war.

I have seen the rain
I've survived the pain
Oh I've been home 30 years or so
And I'm just stepping up for the blame

Spend my days just searching
Spend my nights in dreams
Stop looking over my shoulder baby
I've stopped wonderin' what it means
Drop out, burn out, solidier ho-oh they've said I should've been more
Probably so if i hadn't of been in that crazy damn Vietnam war.

We have seen the rain, together
We have survived the pain, forever
Oh it's good to home again
Its good to be with my friends
Oh it's good to be home again
It's good to feel that rain
