There's a wall in Washington[00:00:22]
And it's made of cold black granite[00:00:27]
They say 60 000 names are etched there in it[00:00:33]
In that wall in Washington[00:00:42]
A father he traveled from far away[00:00:53]
To walk the path 'til he finds that name[00:00:59]
He reaches his hand up and traces each letter[00:01:04]
The tears they fall as his memories gather[00:01:10]
For the boy who filled his heart with pride[00:01:15]
Is now but a name that's been etched[00:01:23]
In the side of this wall in Washington[00:01:26]
A mother she traveled from far away[00:01:36]
To walk the path 'til she finds that name[00:01:43]
She reaches her hand up and traces each letter[00:01:58]
The tears they fall as her memories gather[00:02:03]
She feels the baby at her breast[00:02:08]
But her heart it breaks because all that is left[00:02:13]
Is this wall in Washington[00:02:19]
A boy he traveled from far away[00:02:40]
To walk the path 'til he finds that name[00:02:46]
He reaches his hand up and traces each letter[00:02:51]
He stares at the name of his unknown father[00:02:55]
His heart is young and it's filled with pain[00:03:01]
In anger he cries out[00:03:07]
"Who is to blame for this wall in Washington[00:03:09]
That's made of cold black granite [00:03:17]
Why is my father's name etched here in it[00:03:23]
In this wall in Washington "[00:03:32]
