DFU SONG: Candle in the Wind (Mr. President, bring Ted Maher home) 3-25-02
DFU SONG PARODIES ^ | 3-2002 | Lyrics, Doug from Upland

MIDI - CANDLE IN THE WIND

Mr. President, this event should have you appalled
It's all about a man who answered when his country called
A Green Beret, a warrior…man of honor…that's plain to see
But he's been held in Monaco and treated shamefully

To save others he had risked his life and fought hard as he could fight
The injustice that he's suffered must be brought to light
So he needs your help…this man's been forgotten and left alone
It's time that you do your duty sir…this hero must come home
Please bring Ted Maher back home

You can intervene…you can do what others cannot
He's held on trumped-up charges…you're the only hope he's got
His wife and kids are waiting…while he's being drugged in his cell
How is it that a hero must endure a living hell

To save others he had risked his life and fought hard as he could fight
The injustice that he's suffered must be brought to light
So he needs your help…this man's been forgotten and left alone
It's time that you do your duty sir…this hero must come home
Please bring Ted Maher back home

Well, someone could record it and send it to him. Or, the DC FReepers could serenade him in front of the White House.

Doug, this is WONDERFUL!!! Thank you so much! Ted and his family need all the support we can give them. This thing needs to be resolved, and Ted needs to be at home with his wife and children.

The lyrics are PERFECT. Thank you, thank you, thank you. :)

Where is a high profile attorney who will do this pro bono? Are there no patriots in that profession?

Quite honestly, I've wondered the same thing. Perhaps they're afraid of the Russian mob.

Thanks for the ping, Tonk.
 
Great work, dfu. What a sad situation this continues to be. Heartbreaking.
 
Seems to me like the whole world is just a bloody, merciless mess.
