Beyond The Wall

On a cold day in D.C. at the wall she touched his name

In silence kissed his picture it’ll never be the same

As I watched her walk away from those that went beyond the call

Thoughts go to those left behind and their lives beyond the wall

Beyond the wall there’s a story for every name written on that wall

Special things are left there yet by those that won’t for-g-et

For every name memories go on beyond the wall

I saw a ragged teddy bear was it someone’s favorite toy

From a son back to his daddy or a father to his boy

And me I kept the promise to buy my friend a beer

Here’s to you old buddy I’ll just leave it here

Beyond the wall there’s a story for every name written on that wall

Special things are left there yet by those that won’t for-g-et

For every name memories go on beyond the wall
