Back home now i know you're prob'ly sleeping,
Over here it's the middle of the day.
I finally found some time to write a letter,
Sittin' here a half a world away.
I heard about all them folks protesting,
As if i really want this war.
But that don't stop me from believing
There's just some things worth fighting for.
And if i die before you wake,
I pray the world will take
A good look at what god's given us.
If we could only understand
Everything is in his hands.
All we need is a little faith and trust.
I want you to know it ain't too high a price to pay
If i die before you wake.
Tell everybody that i miss them,
And i can't wait to get back home.
Until then, i'll serve my country
And be proud to wear this uniform.
And if i die before you wake,
I pray the world will take
A good look at what god's given us.
If we could only understand
Everything is in his hands.
All we need is a little faith and trust.
I want you to know it ain't too high a price to pay
If i die before you wake.
No, it ain't too high a price to pay
If i die before you wake.
