Tell Their Story
Tell a story about a man who struggled, just like his old man
One had nightmares from Iraq, the other from ‘Nam
One jumped in a bottle of whiskey, the other in pills
But they never talked to each other, or shared their ordeal
CHORUS
I put pen to paper, I gotta make it a song
I gotta weave it together, and help them get on along
Try and take all the memories and pain, and make a beautiful thing
They can’t be forgotten, and that’s why I sing
Another story about a soldier, who almost lost his life
He got a medal when saved those men, but he can’t talk to his wife
The little girl with piggy tails and brown eyes, she loves her dad
But she can’t understand his anger, or why he’s so sad
I put pen to paper, I gotta make it a song
I gotta weave it together, and help them get on along
Try and take all the memories and pain, and make a beautiful thing
They can’t be forgotten, and that’s why I sing
And there’s a story about the woman and her son, left all alone
A gold star and a flag for the one, who didn’t come home
He’s got his eyes, got his smile, even has his dad’s name
How do you tell the boy, that now it’s all changed
I put pen to paper, I gotta make it a song
I gotta weave it together, and help them get along
Try and take all the memories and pain, and make a beautiful thing
They can’t be forgotten, and that’s why I sing
