Laura Cantrell Lyrics
"Searching For A Soldier's Grave"

You ask me stranger why I made this journey
Why cross 3 thousand miles of rolling waves
Like many others my loved one's killed in action
So I'm here, I'm searching for his grave
Somewhere among these many thousands
Of Americans who died true and brave
That's where I know I'll find him resting
So I'm here, I'm searching for his grave
Beside each cross mark here all around me
I'll lean down and gladly pray a prayer
For all of their loved ones
Back home across the ocean
Whose heart like mine is buried over here
Somewhere among these many thousands
Of Americans who died true and brave
That's where I know I'll find him resting
So I'm here, I'm searching for his grave
