about the nam wall

Lyrics

the wall that heals
C F
Its called the wall / the wall that heals
G C
the names of men whos faith was sealed
C F
they were just boys asked to be men
G C
people come to read the names of there lost friends
C F G
I knew that names were on a wall didnt mean to much to me
C
cause I knew no one there at all
C F
I went to see I didnt believe
G C
how I couldnt fight the tears when I took the time to read
G C
the letters from a mother to her son how life can never be
G C
the same since the night she got that call
G C
a daughter writes a letter to a dad that she would never meet
F G
and she says dad youd be so proud of me..........

C F
its called the wall / the wall that heals
at least a million people come to cry each and every year
I seen these vets with saddend eyes
and I know id never know the horrors they seen in there lives



and they'd bring gifts to honor men
cause they made the types of friendships there
that could never end
I seen this man he brought a wreath to lay beside the name of his son
that he lost overseas

and I thought of all the young lives that were lost over there
as the familys were letting out ther grief
and I know I said I thought the wall did not mean much to me
I was wrong for every name there has a face
and family
