"THE EMPTY CHAIR"
AS WE GATHER TO CELEBRATE,
ON THIS THANKSGIVINGS DAY,
WITH ALL OF OUR FAMILIES,
LET US ALL STOP TO PRAY.
CAUSE ALL ACROSS AMERICA,
IN HOMES EVERYWHERE,
FAMILIES WILL BE GATHERED,
AT A TABLE WITH AN EMPTY CHAIR.
ONE OF THEIR LOVED ONES,
IS NOT AT HOME TO CELEBRATE,
SOME ARE IN FOREIGN LANDS,
WHILE OTHERS HAVE MET THEIR FATE.
LET'S THANK THOSE MEN AND WOMEN,
WHO KEEP OUR COUNTRY STRONG,
AND STAND AND SALUTE OUR FLAG,
AND SING OUR NATIONS SONGS.
CAUSE SOMEWHERE THIS THANKSGIVING,
AS WE SAY A THANKFUL PRAYER,
THERE ARE FAMILIES THAT ARE HURTING,
AT A TABLE WITH AN EMPTY CHAIR.
