I wrote a song for Cindy and all who have been handed a folded flag

[walldude]

And for all you folks in Crawford. Each one of you stands for a hundred thousand of us.

The Folded Flag

(Verse)
I saw them bring the folded flag
They came representing their boss
On behalf of the U.S.A. ma’am
I’m sorry for your loss

I see him clearly in my mind
Everytime I close my eyes
His image haunts my every dream
While his spirit haunts the skies

People say that they don’t care
They say he’d be ashamed
They speak their words in ignorance
I have nothing left to gain

(Bridge)
We are the candle in your darkness
We come to even the score
And for every one that’s standing here
There’s a hundred thousand more

(Chorus)x2
You can’t run no you can’t run
You can’t hide no you can’t hide
A towering wave of truth is coming
To wash you out with the rest of the tide

(Verse)
I’ve seen the fools and I’ve heard their lies
They hope I’ll go away
But they got more than they bargained for
Because I am here to stay

I didn’t ask to be the spokesman
For a thousand broken hearts
But my pain multiplied a thousand times
Gave me a thousand reasons to start

You tell me that you understand
You feel my pain you know my sorrow
If that were true, if you really knew
Then you’d end the war tomorrow

(Bridge)
(Chorus)

If you think it's good please keep it kicked for the Crawford folks in the morning....

4. regarding song

I just read the song and it made me cry.I am going to print it out and send it to Cindy with a lot of other things I have printed out for her.
If it werent so late I would call her and tell her about it but I will call tomorrow.
I have a friend who is an awesome singer,he was very popular in the 70's and made a lot of albums.His name is Will Strickland.If you ok it I can give him the words and let him write the music and have my daughter who has all the recording equipment burn some cd's
Cindy is one of my closest friends,she calls me mom and I love her more than life.Thanks for the wonderful song.If it okay I can have some burned for her and you and whoever wants one.
Please email me on here if this
is ok with you.I will gladly pay for the cd's for everyone
