More Than a Name on a Wall - The Petersens (LIVE) on Branson Country USA

Growing up in the United States Air Force was an amazing experience for the four of us. We moved all over the country and met so many honorable men and women willing to sacrifice their lives for our freedom. We watched our dad go overseas many times and were blessed to always have him return home, but not everyone is as fortunate. To these families, we dedicate this song, "More Than a Name on a Wall."

If you are wondering where Emmett is, he didn't join our band full time until 2018.

►LYRICS - More Than a Name on a Wall
I saw her from a distance
As she walked up to the wall
In her hand she held some flowers
As her tears began to fall

She took out pen and paper
As to trace her memory
She looked up to Heaven
And the words she said were these

She said, Lord, my boy was special
And he meant so much to me
You know I'd love to see him
Just one more time you see

All I have are my memories
And the moments to recall
So, Lord, would you tell him
He's more than a name on a wall

She said, he really missed his family
And being home on Christmas Day
But he died for God and Country
In a place so far away

I remember just a little boy
Playing war since he was three
But, Lord, this time I know
He's not coming home to me

She said, Lord, my boy was special
And he meant so much to me
You know I'd love to see him
Just one more time you see

So I thank you for my memories
And the moments to recall
So, Lord, would you tell him
He's more than a name on a wall

Oh, Lord, would you tell him
He's more than a name on a wall
