I went to the wall one day To spend some time alone People walking quietly by me They were so far from home People cried and touched the wall Their thoughts so far away Thinking of what they had and lost On one fateful day Their loved ones gone forever Their hearts so filled with stress Their loved ones names on the wall Were just like all the rest Oh, why were they taken so very young To die so far away So many other warriors Left to fight another day End these wars, oh, Lord And bring our children home So they don't have to die And be so all alone
I went to the wall one day
To spend some time alone
People walking quietly by me
They were so far from home
People cried and touched the wall
Their thoughts so far away
Thinking of what they had and lost
On one fateful day
Their loved ones gone forever
Their hearts so filled with stress
Their loved ones names on the wall
Were just like all the rest
Oh, why were they taken so very young
To die so far away
So many other warriors
Left to fight another day
End these wars, oh, Lord
And bring our children home
So they don't have to die
And be so all alone
