Lyrics
(v1)
When you were searching for my name today I saw you standing there
Man, you look different with that silver in your hair
Me, I haven't aged a bit, still all of twenty one
That's the thing about us spirits, we're forever young
At the wall
Here at the wall

(v2)
We were proud to serve our country when called by Uncle Sam
Then more than a little anxious when they shipped us off to Nam
Remember all the heat and bugs, days marching through the mud
Constant gunfire, smell of death, sight of all that blood
Some gave all
The names carved in this wall

Chorus
But it's a wall of love
A wall that heals
A wall that touches
And helps you feel
The faces of more than fifty-thousand names
Feel the wall
Be forever changed

(v3)
When we finally got the orders saying we could go back home
They were looking for my body so you made the trip alone
Came back to a country that couldn't comprehend
How so many boys that left returned as messed up men
Who served with all
The names here on the wall

(Chorus)

It's a wall of love
A wall that heals
A wall that touches
And helps you feel
The faces of more than fifty-thousand names
Feel the wall
Be forever changed

So, as you stand there weeping with your fingers on my name
Share with those cute grandkids the reason for this place
To restore some stolen gratitude and dignity
This granite wall of honor that holds my memory

(Chorus)
It's a wall of love
A wall that heals
A wall that touches
And helps you feel
The faces of more than fifty-thousand names
Feel the wall
Be forever changed
Feel the wall
Be forever changed"
