Intro
Verse
He got the news, the day his son in law rang, now things in his life will never be the same
There in the dark sits a lonely old man, he crys and he grieves and sleeps when he can
B Section
His little girl?s gone, how life is not fair, he would do anything to have her back here...as
Chorus
He watches the flag get folded with care, filled with her memories and holding back tears
Now he keeps wondering what he's living for, this father?s just another victim a victim of war
Verse
He got the news when the soldiers came; now things in his life will never be the same
Now a young father walks the streets all alone , wondering how he?ll raise his son on his own
B Section
His wife?s suddenly gone, how life is not fair, he would do anything to have her back here....as
Chorus
He?s handed the flag soldiers folded with care, filled with her memories and flooded with tears
He walks all alone just pacing their floor, this husband?s another sad victim
a victim of war
Bridge
The sacrifice she made used to be understood, they?d take her place if they only could
Her time is past and her family?s still mourns, they hold it together but their hearts are still torn
Verse
He got the news after school that day; he never thought life would turn out this way
He swings in the park for hours on end, just waiting for life to start over again
B Section
The sacrifice she made is not understood, he just wants his mom back as any child would
His mother is gone, how life is not fair, he would do anything to have her right here...as
Chorus
His dad holds the flag, soldiers fire their guns, his heart pounds & pounds and he just wants to run Sits alone at the park wondering what it's all for, this child another young ?victim a young victim of war a victim of war
