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
