Not an exact match, but could you be thinking of this one? THE WALL (Don Lange) Some say the wall is like a wing, some say it's like a V some say it stands for peace, some say for victory some say it's rising from the ground, some say it's sinking low some say that war can kill you a decade down the road There's fifty-thousand names carved upon that wall and so many souls were scarred {chorus we couldn't count them all A man is washed in moonlight, walking toward the wall a veteran of Vietnam, he can't tell what he saw he can't tell what he did and 'though he's got some scars his troubled heart brings him here tonight after 12 long years He stares into black granite, glimpses of his face reflected back in moonlight. He thinks he sees his name there with all the others, ringing in the stone he puts his forehead to the wall, then he draws the gun When morning broke upon the wall another man had died a victim of your conscience, a victim of the pride of patriots and patriarchs and politicians will there is no peace with honor, that war is raging still The Wall ©1984 Don Lange, Barking Spider Music, BMI on his A Change In The Air
