Shawna Russell - Shed a Tear lyrics

Sarah Martin was a private in the national guard They prepared her for war and combat But not the war in her heart Cause when she looked in her little girl's eyes Holding her finger so deep She shed a tear The whole town gathered and said a prayer as they Rang the old church house bell They were fathers and they were mothers but They were soldiers as well Sarah stood there had attention And thought about the coming year She shed a tear Heart cried out for those who sacrificed To pay the price for those who aren't free She cried out for her little girl Who's little world was about to leave The whole town gathered that summer evening And they brought flowers and cards They lit candles and they sang … in In front of Sarah Martin's jar Even though her mama was gone She somehow knew she was near Cause she shed a tear She shed a tear She shed a tear, yeah Sarah Martin was a private In the national guard
