LYRIC FOR SALE

By Adam's songs

Candles in the window
There was silence in the air
A young girl cries out
In the middle of the prayer

Her father returned home
With medals on his chest
His body cold and lifeless
Along with all the rest

Another fallen soldier
Struck down by a shell
Another shattered home
Descended into hell

Her mum consoles her
She tries her very best
But her daughter knows
She's now fatherless.

She had so much to tell him
About when he was gone
Her mother holds her tightly
Telling her to be strong

She can't understand
Why he went to war
What was the cause?
What was it all for?

Her father returned home
With medals on his chest
His body cold and lifeless
Along with all the rest

Another fallen soldier
Struck down by a shell
Another shattered home
Another sad farewell

Feelings overwhelm her
She can hardly believe
Her chest it tightens
Now, she can hardly breathe

She stands up at the coffin
Tears rolling down her face
She looks down at her father
Knowing he can't be replaced

Her father returned home
With medals on his chest
His memory will live on
But he'll forever be laid to rest
