Big Daddy Weave - I'll Be Brave This Christmas lyrics

Dear daddy, I missed you today When mama unpacked out old Christmas tree And that sweet angel never looked so good on top But my heart felt sad when you weren't there to lift me It's been a while since you went off to fight the war So this year it won't be presents I'll be wishing for I'll be brave this Christmas While you're still far away And I'll kneel beside my bed each night Praying Jesus keeps you safe 'Cause I'm so proud of you, I hope you come home soon But until you do, I'll be brave this Christmas I see bright colors light up the Wilson's house While rockets flash across your evening sky And we sing carols, ooh, all over town While you're living out the cost of peace on earth tonight But if another little boy can grow up just like me Living in a land that's safe and free I'll be brave this Christmas While you're still far away And I'll kneel beside my bed each night Praying Jesus keeps you safe 'Cause I'm so proud of you, I hope you come home soon But until you do, I'll be brave this Christmas Freedom isn't free, there's a price to pay when duty calls It takes sacrifice from us all So I'll be brave this Christmas While your still far away And I'll kneel beside my bed each night Praying Jesus keeps you safe 'Cause we're all so proud of you and I hope you come home soon But until you do, I'll be brave this Christmas Ooh, this Christmas, I'll be brave
