Story behind the song
I wrote this song just as things were really getting heated in the war. Now more than ever, its words ring true. Let's show these precious men and women who watch over us just how much we appreciate them. We all sleep a little better, a little safer, because of the "watchmen on the wall."
Lyrics
1. She's an Air Force pilot A mother and a wife Half the world away from home Willing to give her life He's his mother's pride and joy A tried and true Marine Deep inside the enemy's lines Letting freedom ring Pre-Chorus How can people criticize Ones who give and sacrifice? As for us, we owe them all More than we realize Chorus Don't forget to say "Thank-you" to The watchmen on the wall Don't forget to say "Thank-you" to Ones who gave a little, or even all We know that freedom is not free Thank the Lord for those who'll be Willing to stand or fall Watchmen on the wall 2. Gary's Army Infantry Sarah's a Navy nurse The Johnson boys are Guardsmen And the Smiths are in Reserve Countless others here at home Protect and serve and save Can't we show some gratitude For what our heroes gave? 3. And thanks to all those grey-haired folk Who served in days before Some are listed MIA's Or Prisoners of War For all who serve a single day On homefront or abroad The flag flies proud above us One nation under God ©2003 Words/Music by Lisa Crum
