Through The Eyes of A Child
The little man stood silently and watched the men march by
He saw the pretty uniforms and flags that waved on high
He's much too young to realize those men marched off to war
His tender mind can't comprehend just what they're fighting for
He only knows what momma said, his dad would have to go
So he must be dad's little man, all brave and strong and so
He also knows that momma cries in the middle of the night
Altho, she thought that he'd never know, she hugs her pillow tight
Right now, he feels her grip his hand ,so hard it almost hurts
So when he saw his dad pass by, he thought his heart would burst
His chest it fills with childish pride and I clearly hear him say
' I love you , daddy, please come back and be with me one day,
Don't worry. I'll take care of mom, just like you said I should
I'll put my arms around her and hug her neck real good
And daddy dear, don't you feel bad , because you're far away
Mom and I will be alright and every night we'll pray
That God will keep his eye on you and bring you home to me
And together, we'll all live once more, . in the land of the brave and the free'
