Note To The Unknown Soldier

Note to the Unknown Soldier - Five for Fighting

I don't know you

I never met you

For laughs I'll call you Sam

You were the son

Of Mrs Someone

I hope she understands

Sam you were all that you had

Are you happy or sad

I never knew you

But I'm told you're the best we had

Were you so tall

Did you play Basketball

Was there a sweetheart at home

Did you write her letters

Did it make you better

Face the great unknown

Sam did you feel alone

You were so far from home

I never knew you

But I know you're the best man I know

Could you tell it was time

See it coming in the back of your mind

When it was over was it over

Sam I'm glad you're on my side

I don't know you

I never met you

Can I call you Sam

Did you have a son

A daughter with a little one

I might go and thank

Sam you're the best that we have

You make me happy and sad

If you were here I'd buy the beers

I'd shake your hand and say good man

And though the sun would

Shine about the same

It's a better world because you came

Sincerely yours

My kids will know your name
