Lyrics

If I close my eyes , I cannot make it go away...when I look outside..I see your sunny days slip away..I want to take you in my hands..hold you up from this place..take you in my hands ..give you back another day...in a picture frame there's a photograph of a fathers' son in a uniform.. a Mothers' boy with a loaded gun ..a soldier that would not return...on the wall beside your bedroom door..the memories of all we've done ... a folded flag in a wooden box..the purposes of all we lost on Oct. 20th...I wanna take you in my hands ..I wanna tear down that long black wall...I wanna take you in my hands...hold you up from this place..give you back another day......I cannot pick up the pieces..I cannot make it go away....when I look outside..I see your sunny day slip away...in a picture frame there's a photograph...of soldier Brown in a uniform..of a brother bound for Vietnam ...a Brother bound for Vietnam....I wanna take you in my hands...hold you up from this place...give you back another day...in a picture frame there's a photograph...of a Fathers' son in a uniform..a Mothers' boy with a loaded gun..a soldier that would not return.......
