Lyrics

I saw her from a distance
As she walked up to the wall
In her hand, she held some flowers
As her tears begin to fall
She took out a pen and paper
As to trace her memories
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 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
Being home on Christmas day
And he died for God and country
In a place so far away
I remember just a little boy (mm)
Playing a war since he was three
But Lord, this time I know
He's not coming 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
He's more than a name on a wall!"
Lord, could You tell him
He's more than a name on a wall!
