On the planes they board
on the ships they sail
what awaits for them is an
unknown hell.
The world seems endless
when your only nineteen
you dont expect them
to have to be fighting
machines.
But the day has come
our loved ones are gone
we pray dear lord
it wont be for long.
Please dear Lord wont you
keep them safe
if fear ever strikes them
in the face,
we pray for the blood
they wont have to taste.
Our husbands,daughters,
sons and brothers,
they'll fight for us,
fight for the colors,
forever red white and blue,
forever preserving a life
thats true.
We shed a tear as
we try not to cry,
never thought we'd
have to say goodbye.
But the day has come
our loved ones are gone
we pray dear lord
it wont be for long.
