Lyrics
1st verse
His grandad fell in the struggle some 40 years ago
For a cause that was greater than few would ever know
A new shrine dedicated on the south end of town
His grandma called him to join her, show him what she'd found
He's an 18 year old know it all boy but he loves his grandma too
As they drive he's pretty sure the last thing he wants to do..is
!st Chorus
Search for letters
In a another name
On another brick
On a big long wall
In this nowhere town
2nd verse
Light gleams off the water across the grass so green it glows
Limestone cradles crimson bricks in hallowed rows
They gaze, they walk, suddenly she stops
Gently places her fingers on the coarse rock
She traces every letter as the tears drip down so slow
I wish you could have known him, he's thinking grandma don't you know..
2nd Chorus
It's only letters
In another name
On another brick
On another wall
In this nowhere town
Bridge
Time goes by, low on money, he joins the guard
It's hard news for the family the day he gets the call
Now he's caught in a struggle that he doesn't understand
Where fear breeds courage he comes home a different man
3rd verse
A hero's welcome. grandma's hug
Wer'e all so proud of you
He takes her hand, come with me
I've one task left to do
3rd Chorus
I'm gonna trace every letter
In a brave name
On a special brick
On a sacred wall
In this lucky town
...Repeat Chorus
