Theres A Wall In Washington Lyrics
There's a wall in Washington
and it's made of cold black granite
They say 60,000 names are etched there in it
in that wall in
Washington
A father, he traveled from far away
to walk the
path 'til he finds that name
He reaches his hand up and traces each
letter
The tears they fall as his memories gather
for the boy who
filled his heart with pride
is now but a name that's been etched
in
the side of this wall in Washington
A mother she traveled from far
away
to walk the path 'til she finds that name
She reaches her hand
up and traces each letter
The tears they fall as her memories gather
She feels the baby at her breast
but her heart it breaks because all
that is left
is this wall in Washington
A boy, he traveled
from far away
to walk the path 'til he finds that name
He reaches
his hand up and traces each letter
He stares at the name of his unknown
father
His heart is young and it's filled with pain
in anger he
cries out
"Who is to blame for this wall in Washington
that's made of cold black granite?
Why is my father's name etched here
in it
in this wall in Washington?"
