lyrics

Footsteps in Fields – Ryan Sheeler

VERSE1
We drove away from the church, up the streets north of town
Past the veteran’s hospital to that field of brown

We listen’d to them play the Taps as it echoed in the sky
Tears rolled down our faces, and we said our goodbyes.

CHORUS
Those who wear silent badges of tears that hide their scars
Sometimes they won’t hold your hand but they’ll give away their hearts

Men who never talk about what it means to fight and die
And yet are willing to do just that for you and I

VERSE 2
The honest love and toughness in my grandpa’s eyes
made me think we take for granted the meaning of a sacrifice

Freedom isn’t free I know; from footsteps in far-off fields
Now I’m learning just what it is a story like that reveals  CHORUS

VERSE 3
“on behalf of a grateful nation”, left so much more unsaid
Thank you for your service and the way that you led

We remember all your prayers and all of your stories too
But I would give that all away, for another day with you
