Lyrics
[Verse]
He wrote letters from the desert sand,
A thousand miles from his promised land.
His heart stayed home, where his daughters played,
But duty called, and there he stayed.
[Chorus]
Folded in the flag, red, white, and blue,
A hero's honor, but it can't undo—
The empty chair, the silent halls,
The laughter gone, where it used to fall.
Folded in the flag, he's home, but not the same,
The price of freedom etched in his name.
[Verse 2]
The knock came early, just past dawn,
Two Marines stood, their faces drawn.
A mother wept, her knees gave way,
While little girls asked, “Where’s Daddy today?”
[Prechorus]
The wind carried words that hearts couldn't bear,
The weight of loss hung heavy in the air.
[Chorus]
Folded in the flag, red, white, and blue,
A hero's honor, but it can't undo—
The bedtime tales he’ll never tell,
The dreams he left where angels dwell.
Folded in the flag, he's home, but not the same,
The cost of courage, the eternal flame.
[Bridge]
At the graveside, a bugle cried,
A melody for the brave who died.
Tiny hands clutched the flag so tight,
Their daddy's love wrapped in stars that night.

A sad country song on a soldier not being able to make it back home alive. He has daughters back home. And how they get handed the flag on the day of the marine funeral .
