LYRICS
It's time to tell all the story
About the war and the fall
And those who were sacrificed
Their names on That Black Wall
We were so young and innocent
And forced to the call
Sent to fight for our freedom
We were never welcomed there at all
We gave up our youth
In their jungles and their sand
To never know the truth
All the lives lost in their land
But we are memories and faces
In a war that was lost
58,000 names of hero's
Whose lives had paid the cost
We all came home alone
Not a parade or welcome home
We hide inside our pain
From a war that brought home shame
Yet the panels still stand tall
With names of the fallen
The honor and the glory
Still comes from That Black Wall
And for those who still live it
And those who have died
For the families and the loved ones
To heal the Veteran's Pride
We stand here in silence
All the names carved in granite
The memories and the tears
Still shed on That Black Wall
But we are memories and faces
In a war that was lost
58,000 names of hero's
Whose lives had paid the cost
We stand here in silence
All the names carved in granite
The memories and the tears
Still shed on That Black Wall
The healing will come
It comes from That Black Wall
