The greatest story never told
Lived in a man whose life ticked away
Years passing by without much to say
About a time that's too hard to speak out loud
For those things that never made him proud
He fought courageously for his family
Gave his all for freedom in this country
One of the greatest heroes of our time
But we'll never know what it's like
So many memories still locked inside
It's the greatest story never told
When I was just a kid
I remember my granddad's ways
And I wanted to tag along every day
Learn from him what it was to be a man
Listen to his words so I could understand
How this life can do things to change you
And make you doubt things you thought you knew
To remember that thine own self be true
The greatest story never told
Hides in the hearts of those brave men
Who fought for freedom in this land
Some giving their lives for those back home
Others surviving but left feeling alone
Living with horrors we can never really know
How hard it is to let it go
The strength it takes to not let it show
It's the greatest story never told
Granddaddy never spoke of his days back then
Saying it was all just a has-been
But I could see it was the pain in his eyes
That never let him set it aside
He wasn't a man of many words
So those were stories I never heard
Something I can't imagine seeing unfold
How hard in your heart it is to hold
The greatest story never told
Hides in the hearts of those brave men
Who fought for freedom in this land
Some giving their lives for those back home
Others surviving but left feeling alone
Living with horrors we can never really know
How hard it is to let it go
The strength it takes to not let it show
It's the greatest story never told
How much it hurt him I'll never know
The strength he had to not let it show
I love that man so
I wish he could have let it go
It's the greatest story never told
How much it hurt him I'll never know
The strength he had to not let it show
I love that man so
I wish he could have let it go
It's the greatest story never told
