A stranger on home ground Songtext / Lyric

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 memories

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

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

Playing war since he was three

But Lord this time I know

He's not coming home to me"

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

But Lord could You tell him

He's more than a name on a wall"

Lord could You tell him

He's more than a name on a wall
