Today I took my boy to Ludlow
to show him the markers there
we stood there reading the names and he said...
daddy shouldn't we say a prayer?
daddy shouldn't we say a prayer?

When a boy becomes a man
sometimes that moment is clear
my son he looked me in the eye..
and said tell me what happened here
can you tell me what happened here

It's a lonely place today
one wishes not to make a sound
the snow melts below the grass 
to wet the lips of those left underground

There's more Rockefeller's now
than there even was back then
oh to live in a time
filled with better PR men
filled with better PR men

Every man and woman dies
along with every child who lifts a toy
can someone tell me what's ahead
for my little boy

Today I took my boy to Ludlow
to show him the markers there
we stood there reading the names and he said...
shouldn't we say a prayer?
shouldn't we say a prayer?
