Reflection in Black
When you look into the mirror Tell me what you see Reflections of an older man... Brother, uncle, dad he came to be. Look closer and see the lines drawn upon his face... Footprints of time, and memories he cannot erase. They're marks of peace, of sorrow, of joy, of laughter, Of losing friend, of losing brother -- who to this day And evermore are etched deep within his heart... He'll never forget, they'll never fade away. He'll always remember, he'll always ache Locked deep inside they dwell till one day He hopes to set them free one and all By walking beside them there at the Wall And tell them he's sorry he couldn't do more To ask for forgiveness among granite black Because angels brought this soldier safely back. He shed many tears, quietly and alone For all his brothers who didn't come home. He prays to the Father their burden will ease Of all loved ones whose hearts need His Peace. See the man mirrored in black granite sheen Look and tell me what you see... Surrounded by his fallen brothers is he Standing proud, straight and tall Among soldiers again -- one and all.
