Shawna Russell - Shed a Tear lyrics

rate me

Sarah Martin was a private in the national guard

They prepared her for war and combat

But not the war in her heart

Cause when she looked in her little girl’s eyes

Holding her finger so deep

She shed a tear,

The whole town gathered and said a prayer as they

Rang the old church house bell

They were fathers and they were mothers but

They were soldiers as well

Sarah stood there had attention

And thought about the coming year

She shed a tear

Heart cried out for those who sacrificed

To pay the price for those who aren’t free

She cried out for her little girl

Who’s little world was about to leave

The whole town gathered that summer evening

And they brought flowers and cards

They lit candles and they sang … in

In front of Sarah Martin’s jar

Even though her mama was gone

She somehow knew she was near

Cause she shed a tear

She shed a tear

She shed a tear, yeah

Sarah Martin was a private

In the national guard.<br />
