Reflections
It's a clear day The sky is blue the wind is slight
White clouds go rolling by
Time for a walk Grass is green the wall is long
The memories stir up songs
So many names I can't read my eyes blur
I know the section I prefer
It takes so long I memorized names I knew
Everyplace I go to
Been a long time Yet I know as a living vet
I know I won't forget
Come a long way It was done no fanfare
Some came home some stayed there
I've lived a life And I've tried to keep it good
A legacy of where we stood
Life ended there Memories I keep with me
The soldiers I can still see
I reach out and touch the wall
The reflections there each one big or small
There's no words I loved them all
The men I knew I still recall
I miss them each and every one
The battles fought the battles won
I will never be the same
With the reflections of each face and name in the wall
White clouds go rolling by
Time for a walk Grass is green the wall is long
The memories stir up songs
So many names I can't read my eyes blur
I know the section I prefer
It takes so long I memorized names I knew
Everyplace I go to
Been a long time Yet I know as a living vet
I know I won't forget
Come a long way It was done no fanfare
Some came home some stayed there
I've lived a life And I've tried to keep it good
A legacy of where we stood
Life ended there Memories I keep with me
The soldiers I can still see
I reach out and touch the wall
The reflections there each one big or small
There's no words I loved them all
The men I knew I still recall
I miss them each and every one
The battles fought the battles won
I will never be the same
With the reflections of each face and name in the wall
