The empty Chair by Viking Cowboy

The empty Chair a Sting cover The James Foley Story Jim: The James Foley Story is a 2016 American documentary film about the life of journalist and war correspondent James “Jim“ Foley, directed by Brian Oakes. It premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on January 23, 2016, and on HBO on February 6, 2016. Directed by Foley’s childhood friend Brian Oakes, the film chronicles the life of American photojournalist James “Jim“ Foley. On Thanksgiving Day 2012, Foley was kidnapped in Syria while reporting on the Syrian Civil War and went missing for two years. The infamous video of his beheading in August 2014, purportedly as a response to American airstrikes in Iraq, introduced much of the world to the Islamic State of Iraq (ISIS). Interviews with family, friends, journalist colleagues, and fellow hostages provide insight into Foley’s character, work, captivity and legacy. --------------------------------------LYRICS---------------------- If I should close my eyes, that my soul can see, And there’s a place at the table that you saved for me. So many thousand miles over land and sea, I hope to dare, that you hear my prayer, And somehow I’ll be there. It’s but a concrete floor where my head will lay, And though the walls of this prison are as cold as clay. But there’s a shaft of light where I count my days, So don’t despair of the empty chair, And somehow I’ll be there. Some days I’m strong, some days I’m weak, And days I’m so broken I can barely speak, There’s a place in my head where my thoughts still roam, Where somehow I’ve come home. And when the Winter comes and the trees lie bare, And you just stare out the window in the darkness there. Well I was always late for every meal you’ll swear, But keep my place and the empty chair, And somehow I’ll be there, And somehow I’ll be there. Writer(s): Gordon Sumner, Josh Ralph
