More Than A Name On A Wall |
I saw her from a distance as she walked up to the wall |
In her hand she held some flowers as her tears began to fall |
And she took out pen and paper as to trace her memories |
And she looked up to heaven and the words she said were these |
She said Lord my boy was special and he meant so much to me |
And oh I’d love to see him just one more time you see |
All I have are the memories and the moments to recall |
So Lord could you tell him that he’s more than a name on a wall |
She said he really missed the family and being home on Christmas day |
And he died for God and country in a place so far away |
I remember just a little boy playing war since he was three |
But Lord this time I know he’s not comin' home to me |
She said Lord my boy was special and he meant so much to me |
And oh I’d love to see him but I know it just can’t be |
So I thank you for my memories and the moments to recall |
So Lord could you tell him that he’s more than a name on a wall |
