[00:05.310] Allan Taylor-The Veteran
[00:13.620] I saw the echo of a thousand wars
[00:17.790] in the face of the man
[00:21.160] As he looked out over the watching crowd
[00:24.850] searching for a friend
[00:28.840] Sometimes he would see a face
[00:31.530] but then each face looks the same
[00:36.040] Like looking into a mirror
[00:39.140] and reading a different name
[00:41.630] Different name
[00:49.950] He learned his lessons early,
[00:52.640] a confirmation under fire
[00:55.890] Now his eyes stare into the distance
[00:59.360] like a prisoner behind the wire
[01:03.660] We are lucky in our fortune, we can turn the other way
[01:10.730] But the veteran fights again at night and struggles through the day
[01:16.350] Through the day
[01:24.960] When you sing do you sing for the man who's broken
[01:31.310] Do you sing for the man who stands alone
[01:38.480] Do you sing for the endless list of names
[01:45.690] Etched in marble stone
[01:52.920] Etched in marble stone
[02:02.790] He came back an addict,
[02:06.200] he came back a drunk
[02:10.060] He came back a cripple, or pieces in a trunk
[02:16.630] He came back a hero to a waving flag parade
[02:23.460] He was left with nothing when the glory began to fade
[02:29.500] Began to fade
[02:37.260] So what do you say to the veteran who can't take it any more
[02:44.540] You guard your words,
[02:46.450] you hold it back and talk of anything but the war
[02:51.410] Just reach out over the distance and let him know you're there
[02:58.420] And hope he hasn't gone too far, or forgotten how to care
[03:04.140] How to care
[03:12.020] When you sing do you sing for the man who's broken
[03:18.940] Do you sing for the man who stands alone
[03:26.050] Do you sing for the endless list of names
[03:32.670] Etched in marble stone
[03:39.810] When you sing do you sing for the man who's broken
[03:46.350] Do you sing for the man who stands alone
[03:52.800] Do you sing for the endless list of names
[04:00.450] Etched in marble stone
[04:07.700] Etched in marble stone
