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
And she took out pen and paper
As to trace her memory
And 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 the moments to recall
So Lord, could you tell him
That 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
Played war since he was three
But Lord, this time I know
He's not coming home to me
And 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
So Lord, could you tell him
That he's more than a name
On a wall
Lord, could you tell him
That he's more than a name
On a wall
