| [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 |
