The battle lines have been drawn in the sand
And you're fighting in a foreign land
And its hard for me to understand
Cause you've been gone so long
The president's said its just begun
And we'll keep fighting till the war is won
But you can't wait that long to see your son
Cause we miss you and we love you
And we're always thinking of you
I try to push my sadness aside
I try to keep my feelings alive
I'm trying not to go out my mind
But I don't know what to do without you baby
I'm hoping you will come home to stay
I'm praying cause you're so far away
I just can't wait another day
And i hope you get this letter
Hope you get this letter
Hope you get this letter
Hope you get this letter today
I hope you get this letter someway
And I hope you get this letter
Hop e you get this letter
Hope you get this letter

And i hope you get this letter today
Hope you get this letter someway
And I Hope you get this letter
