A soldiers girl

By my hand to life he led me
Through the dark, light he helped me see
With his hand in mine, I became stronger
I wish our time togther could have been longer
But i know he will be home again
I know i will be in his arms then

He is gone for this nation and me
Learning to fight for our rights to be free
Your soldier and mine to love
I pray for him, to our god above
I pray for all of our soldiers this night
Cause i know it's for us they fight

Weapons and prayers hand in hand
This odd mix protects our land
Their girlfriends and wives are alone at home
Nothing to keep them company but mail and phone
When will our freedom be truly free?
Mend our broken hearts these women and me

From toy guns to real guns boys grew to men
It could kill them, uncle sam what then?
A new batch will be born, sent off to boot camp
Our mothers tears, fall upon pillows so damp
Freedom was never truly free
Our men fight to protect you and me
As you wait i will wait for trainings end
He will soon know what it means to truly defend
They will come home with a new perspective
Under an entirely new directive
I tell myself its for a good cause
He will defend our land and laws

He taught me so much in a short time
I'm lucky to be able to call him mine
He is ours a nations man
And can i wait for him? yes i can
6 months will come, then him i will see
I'm a asoldiers girl there are many like me

We all wish to see their face
Different scenarios still the same case
A soldiers girl knows the cost at heart
And we all dread when the fight will start
A soldiers girl will love then wait
And pray their man wont meet his fate

Now i sit outside not knowing how to end
Thinking about all the time we spent
Wrapped around each other tight
To me it all felt so very right
I'm sure all the girls think like me
And baby, thank the other soldiers, for fighting for all we see
