There's Teddy Bears
And High School Rings
Old Photographs
That Mamas bring
The Daddies with their young Boys
Playing Ball.
There's Combat Boots
That he used to wear
When he was sent
Over there
There's 50,000 Names
Carved in the Wall
There's Cigarettes
And there's Cans of Beer
And Notes that say
I miss you Dear
And Children who don't
Say anything at all
There's Purple Hearts
And Packs of Gum
Fatherless Daughters
And fatherless Sons
And there's 50,000 Names
Carved in the Wall
They come from all across this Land
In Pickup Trucks and Mini Vans
Searching for that Boy from long ago
They scan the Wall and find his Name
And Teardrops fall like pouring Rain
And silently they leave a Gift and go
There's Stars of David
And Rosary Beads
And Crucifixion Figurines
And Flowers of all Colors
Large and small
There's a Boy Scout Badge
And a Merit Pin
Little American Flags
Waving in the Wind
And there's 50,000 Names
Carved in the Wall.
There's 50,000 Names
Carved in the Wall
50,000 Names
In 1997, Jamie O'Hara
composed and recorded
50,000 names carved on the wall
