Lyrics

Waldemar,

Your name's stitched in
The collar of my favorite shirt
The one I pulled out of your closet
When you passed away

You were born into and out of
The Great Depression
Did you lose your expression
When your brother lost his mind
When he got back from the war?
Was it those two things
That made you a quiet man?

Or was it Reuben?
The other brother
Where I get my name
Who was a hero in the war you did not fight
And loved my dad the way he wanted to be loved
And is now carried in my name
Instead of on my back
I wonder if you loved but just didn't know how

If I'm a carrier I drag it behind me
If I'm a victim I don't want to know it
All I know is it's hard to get out of bed
And in the morning
I lay and wonder if you're the one to blame
And will my grandson wear my clothes
But not share my name
Or if I will be the break in the chain
