“I've Got Your Back"
I am a small and precious child; my dad's been sent to fight.
The only place I'll see his face is in my dreams at night.
He will be gone too many days for my young mind to track.
I may be sad, but I am so proud.
My daddy's got your back.
I am a caring mother. My son has gone to war.
My mind is filled with worries that I've never known before.
And daily I attempt to keep my thoughts from turning black.
I may be scared, but I'm so proud.
My son has got your back.
I am a strong and loving wife, with a husband soon to go.
At times I am so terrified in a way most never know.
I bite my lip and force a smile as I watch my husband pack.
My heart may break, but I am so proud.
My husband's got your back.
I am a soldier, serving proudly, standing ever tall.
I fight for freedom, yours and mine by answering this call.
I do my job while knowing the thanks it sometimes lacks.
Say a prayer that I'll come home again. It's I who has your back.
