Above the sky is lit with glowing light
below they go with all their might.
to victory their goal this courageous night.
For freedom, for peace, this is the price.
Home is in their hearts so deep.
Loved ones watch while they do weep.
They pray to heaven above that all is right.
As their hearts bleed tears upon this night.
Their for awaits as they grow near,
Anticipating all they do fear.
knowing when and where they shall appear.
Onward they go for those they hold dear.
They fight for all they know is right.
To protect those for whom they care
upon this night.
Knowing as their loved ones lie asleep,
God has granted them
FREEDOM AND PEACE
