作词 : Allan Taylor 作曲 : Allan Taylor Allan Taylor-The Veteran I saw the echo of a thousand wars in the face of the man As he looked out over the watching crowd searching for a friend Sometimes he would see a face but then each face looks the same Like looking into a mirror and reading a different name Different name He learned his lessons early, a confirmation under fire Now his eyes stare into the distance like a prisoner behind the wire We are lucky in our fortune, we can turn the other way But the veteran fights again at night and struggles through the day Through the day When you sing do you sing for the man who's broken Do you sing for the man who stands alone Do you sing for the endless list of names Etched in marble stone Etched in marble stone He came back an addict, he came back a drunk He came back a cripple, or pieces in a trunk He came back a hero to a waving flag parade He was left with nothing when the glory began to fade Began to fade So what do you say to the veteran who can't take it any more You guard your words, you hold it back and talk of anything but the war Just reach out over the distance and let him know you're there And hope he hasn't gone too far, or forgotten how to care How to care When you sing do you sing for the man who's broken Do you sing for the man who stands alone Do you sing for the endless list of names Etched in marble stone When you sing do you sing for the man who's broken Do you sing for the man who stands alone Do you sing for the endless list of names Etched in marble stone Etched in marble stone
