More Than A Name On A Wall

By The Petersens

Lyrics

I saw her from a distance

As she walked up to the wall

In her hand she held some flowers

As her tears began to fall

 

She took out pen an' paper

As to trace her memory

She looked up to heaven

An' the words she said were these

 

She said, Lord my boy was special

An' he meant so much to me

You know I'd love to see him

Just one more time you see

 

All I have are my mem'ries

An' the moments to recall

So Lord would you tell him

He's more than a name on a wall

 

She said, he really missed his family

An' bein' home on Christmas Day

But he died for God an' country

In a place so far away

 

I remember just a little boy

Playin' war since he was three

But Lord this time I know

He's not comin' home to me

 

She said, Lord my boy was special

An' he meant so much to me

You know I'd love to see him

But I know it just can't be

 

So I thank you for my mem'ries

An' the moments to recall

So Lord would you tell him

He's more than a name on a wall

 

Oh Lord would you tell him

He's more than a name on a wall
