Circle on the Cross By: Keni Thomas (with Kenny Rogers)
Daddy got the call sometime in the summer of 69 Did his tour in the war But the home he was fighting for Wasnt what he left behind
I was there that day when the telegram came And mamma fell to her knees He was a mighty good man but he fell into the hands Of the North Vietnamese
For every man that gave his life Another folded stars and stripes Husbands, fathers, brothers, sons will never be forgotten When you find what once was lost Put a circle on the cross
For two years mamma held on said Im trying to do the best I can But the Army wasnt paying And she had a boy to raise So she found herself another man
I was there that day when the taps was played And they buried his name in the ground The preacher was still talking as mamma started walking And she aint never turned around
Put a circle on the crossOn the cold black wall Put a circle on the cross60,000 gone
I never knew my daddy But were the same man after all Cause it wasnt my reflection I saw staring back at me from that wall
