Letters From War Lyrics

Letters From War lyrics

She runs to the mailbox

On that bright summers day

Found a letter from her son

In a war far away



He spoke of the weather

And good friends that he'd made

Said I'd been thinking 'bout dad 

And the life that he had

Thats why I'm here today

And that the end he said

You are what I'm fighting for

It was the first of the letters from war



She started writing

(Chorus)

Your good and your brave

What a father that you'll be someday

Bring him home

Bring him safe



She wrote everynight as she prayed



Late in December

A day she'll not forget

Oh her tears stained the paper

With every word that she read



It said I was up on a hill

I was out there alone

When the shots all rang out

And bombs were exploding

And thats when I saw him

He came back to me

And though he was captured

A man set me free 

And that man was your son



He asked me to write to you

I told him i would oh I swore

It was the last of the letters from war



And she prayed he was living

Kept on believing and wrote every night just to say



(Chorus)



Then two years later

Autumn leaves all around

A car pulled in the driveway

And she fell to the ground

And out stepped a captain

Where her boy used to stand



Said mom I'm following orders

From all of your letters 

And I've come home again

He ran into hold her

And dropped all his bags on the floor

Holding all of her letters from war



Bring him home

Bring him home

Bring him home
