More Than A Name On The Wall

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 a pen and paper As to trace her memories
She looked up to Heaven And the words she said were these

She said, "Lord my boy was special And he meant so much to me"
And oh I'd love to see him Just one more time you see
All I have are the memories And moments to recall
So Lord could you tell him He's more than a name on a wall"

She said, "He really missed the family And being home on Christmas day"
And he died for God and country In a place so far away
I remember just a little boy Playing a war since he was three
But Lord this time I know He's not coming home to me

She said, "Lord my boy was special And he meant so much to me"
And oh I'd love to see him But I know it just can't be
So I thank you for my memories And the moments to recall
But Lord could you tell him He's more than a name on a wall
Lord could you tell him He's more than a name on a wall
