There's teddy bears and high school ringsAnd old photographs that mamas bringOf daddies with their young boys playin' ballThere's combat boots he used to wearWhen he was sent over thereAnd there's fifty thousand names carved in the wallThere's cigarettes and cans of beerAnd notes that say, "I miss you dear"And children who don't say anything at allThere's purple hearts and packs of gumFatherless daughters and fatherless sonsAnd there's fifty thousand names carved in the wallThey come from all across this landIn pickup trucks and mini vansSearchin' for a boy from long agoThey scan the wall and find his nameThe teardrops fall like pourin' rainThen silently they leave a gift and goThere's stars of David and rosary beadsAnd crucifixion figurinesAnd flowers of all colors large and smallThere's a boy scout badge and a merit pinLittle American flags wavin' in the windAnd there's fifty thousand names carved in the wallFifty thousand names carved in the wall Aus Songtexte Mania
