Left Their Mark
by The Frontmen

Album: Familiar Faces

Verse 1
I was sittin' at a red light the other day
When a motorcycle cop pulled up and stopped right in my way
A black hearse came rollin' by
There must've been a thousand cars in that line
And as I waited, I couldn't help but think to myself

Chorus
There goes someone with lots of friends
A family who could depend on them
Through thick and thin
And I could tell by the tears in their eyes
What they must've meant to all their lives
And I thought as I watched that goodbye parade unfold
There goes someone who touched some hearts
And left their mark on the world

Verse 2
Saw a story last night on the evenin' news
How a soldier gave his own life to save his whole platoon
Then Honor Guard lined up to shoot
And then they fired that 21-gun salute
A lone bugler played "Taps" as they folded that flag

Chorus
There goes someone with lots of friends
A country who could depend on him
Through thick and thin
And I could tell by the tears in their eyes
What he must've meant to all their lives
And I cried as I watched his wife hold their little girl
There goes someone who touched some hearts
And left their mark on this world

Bridge
I can only hope and pray that on my final day
That I had made a difference where someone might say

Chorus
There goes someone with lots of friends
A family who could depend on him
Through thick and thin, oh
As they remember me with tears in their eyes
And what I meant to all their lives
I hope they say as my goodbye parade unfolds
There goes someone who touched some hearts
And left their mark on the world
