This prayer that I say tonight
Is for my spouse who must fight
for you see, he is away from me
Keeping his country safe and free
This is the one that I love
And so I ask you Lord above
Please keep him safe while under way
and bring him home to me someday
While he is gone, please hear my prayer
And let him know I will be there
Waiting for him upon the pier
Hoping and praying with some fear
This prayer is not for him alone
But for all military far from home
I ask you to keep them safe and sound
On their way to where their bound
We love these men (and women) that are
asked to fight
So, keep them safe for us tonight.
