Keni Thomas - Circle On The Cross

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


Wasn’t 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 I’m trying to do the best I can


But the Army wasn’t 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 ain’t never turned around





Put a circle on the cross…On the cold black wall


Put a circle on the cross…60,000 gone





I never knew my daddy 


But we’re the same man after all


Cause it wasn’t my reflection


I saw staring back at me from that wall
