Etched In Stone (Music: JTBeatz)
Making music is my therapy- come join the ride!
Lyrics
Four hours in the car
It seemed so very far
But others they came from further still
One man had his dreams, too
But he didn't get to see them come true
And I can't escape the chill
Chorus:
They came from far and wide
All answering a nation's call
Holding their heads up high
And then together they took the fall
I could not turn away
Each name was hitting home
Fifty eight thousand stories
And now they're etched in stone
He wasn't a brother that I lost
Just another who paid the high cost
That freedom would not die with him
He took a stand, he held his ground
He never let his country down
Even as his vision dimmed
Chorus:
They came from far and wide
All answering a nation's call
Holding their heads up high
And then together they took the fall
I could not turn away
Each name was hitting home
Fifty eight thousand stories
And now they're etched in stone
And as I gazed at that Wall
A tear formed in my eye
I wonder if he knew any better
Why it is he had to die
Brothers he never knew
Yet now he knows them oh so well
They're burned into our memory
Since the very day each fell
Chorus:
They came from far and wide
All answering a nation's call
Holding their heads up high
And then together they took the fall
I could not turn away
Each name was hitting home
Fifty eight thousand stories
And now they're etched in stone
His endless rest won't be alone
He's with his brothers etched in stone
The tomb of every soldier unknown
Another brother etched in stone
