Verse1
I was standing in my kitchen listening to the morning news
Some angry man was talking God he didn’t have a clue
He was putting down our soldiers fighting all those wasted wars
And I just had to turn it off I couldn’t take it any more

I wanted to tell him there’s more than what he sees
And before you tell me that I’m wrong come spend a day with me

Chorus
Meet me in Arlington I’ll introduce you to my son
And maybe then you’ll know just how I feel
White stones that go on and on 400000 strong
Broken hearts and wounds that never heal
Reliving every memory praying he’ll come back to me
But knowing in my heart he never will
Then tell me that you feel the same way still
Meet me in Arlington Meet me in Arlington

Verse2
You can almost hear the stories of the lives they left behind
Names and numbers etched in stone here before their time
When you see the caisson rolling and you hear the music play
When you see a child kneeling by his fallen father’s grave

Well man if that don’t change you then I don’t understand
Cause if you can’t see from where you are then look from I am

Bridge
Well there’s a stone for every soldier
And the reason that you’re free
To say the things you wanna say
and believe what you believe

Meet me in Arlington
Meet me in Arlington
Meet me in Arlington
