[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
