Lyrics
I Pray
I pray for our sons, out fightin' the battles
I pray for our daughters, out there in the fight
I pray for the families, missing their loved one's.
So far away from their home on this night.
It's Joe and it's Mary, we know them as neighbors.
Been called off to honor what they think is right.
Young folks determined, to face down the dangers.
I pray for their courage, to last through the night.
I pray for the mothers, the wife who is lonely.
wondering if her man will live through the fight.
I pray for the children, missing a father, he's holding their picture,
to get through the night.
How long it doesn't matter you see,
We'll be here waiting for you.
On mountains, deserts and sea's
A brave heart knows how strong it must be.
May the men who command them, be blessed with the wisdom.
To know what is wrong and demand what is right.
I pray for our soldiers holdin' their rifles.
I pray for us all, that we just get it right.
I pray for the sons, out fightin' the battles
I pray for our daughters, out there in the fight.
I pray for the families, missing their loved one's.
So far away from their home on this night.
So far away from their home on this night.
