Semper Fi (Live) - Peter，Paul & Mary[00:00:00]

Written by：John Gorka[00:00:01]

My father met eleanor roosevelt in 1945[00:00:13]

The war was finally over then[00:00:24]

And they were still alive[00:00:31]

Her husband was the president[00:00:37]

'Til he ran out of time[00:00:43]

Her Franklin D. was history[00:00:49]

And they put him on the dime[00:00:55]

My father joined the leathernecks[00:01:01]

To stay out of the mine[00:01:07]

The new marine was just sixteen in 1939[00:01:12]

There were medals and malaria[00:01:24]

The south pacific war[00:01:31]

Through jungles that were paradise[00:01:36]

And were paradise no more[00:01:42]

Soldiers fight and soldiers die[00:01:48]

Soldiers live to wonder why[00:01:55]

Semper fi fe-fo-fum[00:02:00]

Look out peacetime here we come[00:02:06]

Some of the men who did survive[00:02:23]

Were not the lucky ones[00:02:28]

War is only good for those[00:02:34]

Who make and sell the guns[00:02:39]

My father lay recovering[00:02:45]

The hurt was all inside[00:02:51]

Sometimes the wounds that never heal[00:02:57]

Are the easiest to hide[00:03:03]

When eleanor came bearing gifts[00:03:20]

To San Francisco bay[00:03:27]

She gave my dad a blanket[00:03:32]

In the hospital that day[00:03:37]

That blanket meant a lot to him[00:03:45]

My mother has it still[00:03:51]

Some forget the kindnesses[00:03:57]

That others never will[00:04:03]

Soldiers fight and soldiers die[00:04:08]

Soldiers live to wonder why[00:04:14]

Semper fi fe-fo-fum[00:04:20]

Look out peacetime here we come[00:04:26]
