Forever Safe
She knew that he was leaving
They had a baby on the way
He’d definitely miss the delivery,
Most likely the 1st birthday
He knows that she’s a fighter
She’d have to do this one on her own
He was leaving to fight a war, flying out today
He’d call her when he could,
He would write her everyday ,
But most of all he’d pray to God
That if anything -
she’d be forever safe
We do what we have to do
To live life, to love
We’ll always fight for freedom
So the world is safe for us
And the love of our family
Let’s pray to God each day,
That he will always keeps us
- forever safe
The letters, they kept arriving
They made her laugh and cry and weep
She’d read each one again out loud
Every night before she’d sleep
Then there’d be a note just for the baby
Words of love sent from his daddy
Telling him one day soon,
Soon, they would meet
After each letter she’d kneel and pray,
To God and the Heavens above
Please God, if anything,
please keep him safe
We do what we have to do
To live life, to love
We’ll always fight for freedom
So the world is safe for us
And the love of our family
Let’s pray to God each day,
That he will always keeps us
- forever safe
He shouted words of love and encouragement
Through a static phone line that was fading out,
He could hardly hear, with the explosions all around
She cursed him like a sailor ,
She pushed while screaming out his name
He said, I know that you’re a fighter
Fight now and give him life
In the heartbeat of a second,
The world went silent - all around
No more static on the phone line and
He heard the new life of his son cry out
A son and a soldier cried together
A mother and a wife was in between
She said, my nose, your eyes
And he’s a fighter like his daddy
So, fight and come home, there’s someone you gotta meet
Just promise me, you’ll keep yourself – safe
We do what we have to do
To live life, to love
We’ll always fight for freedom
So the world is safe for us
And the love of our family
Let’s pray to God each day,
That he will always keeps us
- forever safe
