Safely Home
The U.S. troops have been deployed
To the destination of desert sand
As they go inch by inch
With a gun in their hand
Fighting to death for the freedom of Iraq
Watching part of our world
Becoming far from being intact
As each step is taken
A prayer is sent to the heavens above
If I don't make it through today
Please send my family my love
With a note in each soldier's pocket
Hoping that it will never be read
Exclaiming their undying love
And they will return home instead
I am praying for their safe return
From this sacrifice they have committed to
That they return home safely to you
