Soldier's Song

I’m heading to the market

Got to get the shopping done

But it’s not much fun to me

When I’m making food for one

You tell me not to worry

This is what you have to do

You’re taking a stand

And I’m so proud of you

I know you're fighting for our freedom

And you're fighting for our rights

But baby, please remember

That I’m missing you tonight

So when you’re fighting for this country

You’re not out there on your own

There’s someone here who loves you

So baby, please come home

You send a letter now and then

And it always makes me smile

It takes away the loneliness

If only for a while

And when I hear the telephone

Ringing down the hall

I smile at the possibility

Of any news of you at all

I know you're fighting for our freedom

And you're fighting for our rights

But baby, please remember

That I’m missing you tonight

So when you’re fighting for this country

You’re not out there on your own

There’s someone here who loves you

So baby, please come home 

I don't wanna get that message

That you’re not coming home

I couldn’t bear to live without you

I’ll never make it on my own

So though you're fighting for our freedom

And you're fighting for our rights

Baby, please remember

That I’m missing you tonight

So when you’re fighting for this country

You’re not out there on your own

There’s someone here who loves you

So baby, please come home

I wrote this for a friend of mine who's thinking about joining the military. I'm so proud of you J.J. and just know that you have people who will be waiting for you that love you and and are praying for your safe return!!!
