He Answered The Call

There is an old picture on the wall A photo from a time so long ago It was before my years But still brings me to tears There is a man in the photo on the wall He’s sitting cause he cannot walk I’m not sure who it is But it still brings me to tears The photo is old The story is too But you will still find it happening It is part of our cruel world The man gave it all For the country that he loves Returned without his legs But still proud he answered the call The man in the photo, is waving a flag Watching a parade, he’d march in, but he can’t He looks old and worn But his smile’s bright and warm The man waves his flag, from his chair I hope people notice, I hope people care His smile touches me As I see him in that seat The photo is old The story is too But you will still find it happening It is part of our cruel world The man gave it all For the country that he loves Returned without his legs But still proud he answered the call They proudly gave They proudly fought Some gave it all Some gave and lost Yet those remain Still fly the flag Still cheer and take pride That they live in this land The photo is old The story is too But you will still find it happening It is part of our cruel world The man gave it all For the country that he loves Returned without his legs But still proud he answered the call The photo is old The story is too But you will still find it happening It is part of our cruel world The man gave it all For the country that he loves Returned without his legs But still proud he answered the call
