Five For Fighting - Note To An Unknown Soldier lyrics

rate me

I don't know you <br />I never met you <br />For laughs I'll call you Sam <br />You were the son <br />Of Mrs. Someone <br />I hope she understands <br /> <br />Sam you were all that you had <br />Are you happy or sad <br />I never knew you <br />But I'm told you're the best we had <br /> <br />Were you so tall <br />Did you play Basketball <br />Was there a sweetheart at home <br />Did you write her letters <br />Did it make you better face the great unknown <br /> <br />Sam did you feel alone <br />You were so far from home <br />I never knew you <br />But I know you're the best man I know <br /> <br />Could you tell it was time <br />See it coming in the back of your mind <br />When it was over, was it over <br />Sam I'm glad you're on my side <br /> <br />I don't know you <br />I never met you <br />Can I call you Sam <br />Did you have a son <br />A daughter with a little one <br />I might go and thank Sam you're the best that we have <br /> <br />You make me happy and sad <br />If you were here, I'd buy the beers <br />I'd shake your hand and say good man <br />And though the sun would shine about the same <br />It's a better world because you came <br />Sincerely yours, my kids will know your name<br /><br />
