Lyrics

Touch A Name On The Wall
© 1988 Joel Mabus
[first appeared on The Naked Truth album]

Well, I guess you could call it our summer of freedom, 
the year that we both turned eighteen -
We hitch-hiked to Denver, fresh out of high school
man, we were sights to be seen.
And that was the year that you dated my cousin, 'til 
they took us away in the fall.
Now I dearly wish you were standing here with me as 
I touch your name on the wall.

Touch a name on the wall,
Touch a name on the wall.
God help us all
Touch a name on the wall.

Every time I come here I wear my fatigues,
to honor the men that I knew.
I touch every name that came from my outfit,
and I read them out loud when I do.
Now some people say that they all died for nothing, 
well, I don't completely agree - 
'Cause this brother here didn't die for no country -
He died for me.
[chorus]

Now, usually walls are made for division 
- to separate me from you.
But God bless the wall that brings us together, 
and reminds us of what we've been through.
And God damn the liars and the tin-plated heroes
who trade on the blood of such men.
God give us the strength to stand up and tell them - 
Never again!
[chorus]
