In a war, far away<br>
<br>
He spoke of the weather<br>
And friends that he'd made<br>
Said, 'I'd been thinking 'bout Dad<br>
And the life that he had<br>
That's why I'm here today'<br>
Then at the end he said<br>
'You are what I'm fighting for'<br>
It was the first of his letters from war<br>
<br>
She started writing<br>
<br>
Chorus:<br>
You're good and you're brave<br>
What a father that you'll be someday<br>
Make it home, make it safe<br>
<br>
She wrote every night as she prayed<br>
<br>
And late in December<br>
A day she'll not forget<br>
Oh, her tears stained the paper<br>
With every word that she read<br>

<br>
It said, 'I was up on a hill<br>
I was out there alone<br>
When the shots all rang out<br>
And bombs were exploding<br>
And that's when I saw him<br>
He came back for me<br>
Though he was captured<br>
A man set me free<br>
That man was your son<br>
He asked me to write to you<br>
I told him I would, oh I swore'<br>
It was the last of the letters from war<br>
<br>
And she prayed he was living<br>
Kept on believing and wrote every night just to say<br>
<br>
Chorus<br>
You are good and you're brave<br>
What a father you'll be someday<br>
Make it home, make it safe<br>
<br>
Still, she kept writing each day<br>
<br>
Then two years later<br>
Autumn leaves all around<br>
A car pulled in the driveway<br>
And she fell to the ground<br>
And out stepped a captain<br>
Where her boy used to stand<br>
<br>
He said, 'Mom, I'm following orders<br>
From all of your letters<br>
And I've come home again'<br>
He ran in to hold her<br>
And dropped all his bags on the floor<br>
Holding all of her letters from war<br>
<br>
Bring him home<br>
Bring him home<br>
Bring him home<br>
<br>
