A folded flag sits on the mantle
He carried it into battle
It was draped across the box that brought him home
Now, it sits as a reminder to a man baptized by fire
Who won't fade from the memories of those who loved him most

There's a gold star in the sky tonight brighter than all the rest
Keepin' watch over those he loves. It's just what he does best
If you look up after sundown, you'll see him risen proud
A beacon of light over this gold star town

Eight years, three weeks whose countin' since we fought up on that mountain
All hell broke loose and suddenly he's gone
Hung his picture down at the diner, our tribute to this soldier
Through the years, parades, and tears we still feel the loss

There's a gold star in the sky tonight brighter than all the rest
Keepin' watch over those he loves. It's just what he does best
If you look up after sundown, you'll see him risen proud
A beacon of light over this gold star town

Mmmm. A beacon of light

Once a year we gather, lay a wreath to remember
A son from this town who ain't comin' home
When the streets go quiet above the glow of the porch lights
He's standin' over us each night right till the break of dawn

And, there's a gold star in the sky tonight brighter than all the rest
Keepin' watch over those he loves. It's just what he does best
If you look up after sundown, you'll see him rising proud
A beacon of light over this gold star town

A beacon of light over this gold star town
