Some Came Home
In 1943, my daddy went to war
Sailing on a Navy ship
To the island of Iwo Jima and many more
The good Lord brought him safely home!
*j* *j* *j*
About 1952, my cousin's husband went to war
It was the Korean conflict
She didn't see him anymore
The good Lord took him home!
*j* *j* *j*
In 1960, my husband went to war
Sailing on a Navy cruiser
Anchored off the Vietnamese shore
The good Lord brought him safely home!
*j* *j* *j*
In 1968, my brother went to war
To the hot Vietnamese jungles
He's not himself anymore
But the good Lord brought him home!
*j* *j* *j*
In 1985, my son gave his life to the Navy
20 years he helped keep us safe
I'm so proud of him and his bravery
I thank the Lord for bringing him home!
*j* *j* *j*
These are just a few of America's veterans
Who have paid the ultimate price
Leaving their homes and freedom
Many still have battles to fight.
*j* *j* *j*
Support our brave men and women
Show them that you care
Write letters, send them by the Postman
Always remember them in prayer!
*j* *j* *j*
They're not faceless, nameless creatures
They are the boys and girls next door,
fathers, mothers, daughters...
and they deserve so much more!
