1
She walked to the mailbox
2
On that bright summers day
3
Found a letter from her son
4
In a war, far away
5
He spoke of the weather
6
And good friends that he'd made
7
Said, " I'd been thinking 'bout dad
8
And the life that he had that's why, I'm here today"
9
And then in the end he said, "You are what I'm fighting for"
10
It was the first of his letters from war
11
She started writing
12
You're good and you're brave
13
What a father that you'll be someday
14
Make it home, make it safe
15
She wrote every night as she prayed
16
Late in December
17
A day, she'll not forget
18
Oh, her tears stained the paper
19
With every word that she read
20
It said, "I was up on a hill, I was out there alone
21
When the shots all rang out and bombs were exploding
22
That's when I saw him, he came back for me
23
And though he was captured a man set me free
24
And that man was your son, he asked me to write to you
25
I told him, I would, Oh, I swore"
26
It was the last of the letters from war
27
And she prayed, he was living, kept on believing
28
And wrote every night just to say
29
You are good and you're brave
30
What a father that you'll be someday
31
Make it home, make it safe
32
Still she kept writing each day
33
Then two years later
34
Autumn leaves, all around
35
A car pulled in the driveway
36
And she fell to the ground
37
And out stepped a captain
38
Where her boy used to stand
39
He said, "Mom, I'm followin' orders
40
From all of your letters and I've come home again"
41
He ran into hold her, dropped all his bags on the floor
42
Holdin' all of her letters from war
43
Bring him home
44
Bring him home
45
Bring him home
