Letters from War |
| She walked to the mailbox |
| On that bright summers day |
| Found a letter from her son |
| In a war far away |
| He spoke of the weather |
| And good friends that he’d made |
| Said I’d been thinking 'bout dad |
| And the life that he had |
| Thats why I’m here today |
| And that the end he said |
| You are what I’m fighting for |
| It was the first of the letters from war |
| She started writing |
| You’re good and you’re brave |
| What a father that you’ll be someday |
| make it home |
| make it safe |
| She wrote every night as she prayed |
| Late in December |
| A day she’ll not forget |
| Oh her tears stained the paper |
| With every word that she read |
| It said «I was up on a hill |
| I was out there alone |
| When the shots all rang out |
| And bombs were exploding |
| And thats when I saw him |
| He came back for me And though he was captured |
| A man set me free |
| And that man was your son |
| He asked me to write to you |
| I told him i would, oh I swore» |
| It was the last of the letters from war |
| And she prayed he was living |
| Kept on believing |
| And wrote every night just to say |
| You are good |
| And you’re brave |
| what a father that you’ll be someday |
| Make it home |
| Make it safe |
| Still she kept writing each day |
| Then two years later |
| Autumn leaves all around |
| A car pulled in the driveway |
| And she fell to the ground |
| And out stepped a captain |
| Where her boy used to stand |
| He said «mom I’m following orders |
| From all of your letters |
| And I’ve come home again», |
| He ran into hold her |
| And dropped all his bags on the floor |
| Holding all of her letters from war |
| Bring him home |
| Bring him home |
| Bring him home |
