Met up with a old friend <br />at the corner of fifth and main <br />i was waiting for a light to turn <br />he was standing in the pourin' rain. <br />He seemed a little startled <br />when i called out his name. <br />but when he saw it was a old friend <br />his face lost all it's pain. <br /> <br />As we drove back to his place <br />we talked thirty years of time <br />said his son was killed in combat <br />buried near the Morgan county line <br />and the job he had for 30 years <br />pulled out in 2004 <br />when he said thanks for the ride <br />i saw a shelter door. <br /> <br />Mr. how come some get lucky <br />when others lose it all? <br />Is it up to you Sir <br />are you the one makin' that call? <br />cause if you are i'm beggin <br />i'm prayin loud and clear <br />with all my faith i'm askin' <br />let it end right here. <br /> <br />now, they say it will take years <br />to rebuild what's been torn down. <br />but what about the sacrifice <br />being made on American ground? <br />who will rebuild our country <br />and put back what we all lost <br />it goes beyond the billions <br />their saying it will cost. <br /> <br />Mr. how come some get lucky <br />while others lose it all? <br />is it up to you Sir <br />are you the one makin that call? <br />cause if you are i'm beggin <br />i'm praying loud and clear <br />i got a friend in the reserves <br />and he's up for call next year... <br /> <br />Repeat chorus <br /> <br /> <br />lyric connetta jean/music by Soos<br /><br />Connetta Jean<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lyric-the-call/
