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, 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 coming home to me And 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 But Lord could you tell him, He's more than a name on a wall. Lord could you tell him, He's more than a name on a wall.
