One Little girl who remembers the day
When her dad left for war
Saying it'll be okay
She didn't know much but knew one thing for sure
that it must've been bad because the soft rain
from her mother's face soon became a pour.
He then soon left
with a kiss and a wave
she was telling herself that she had to be brave
as her mother prayed
that he would come back
one special moment
one special day
Days went on
and they didn't hear much word
from the fearless father
and his trusty sword
thinking the worst
her mom wept with fear
until the little girl reminded her
He's in out heart
He's in our prayers
As for him
the lonely nights grew longer
thinking about his lovely wife
and beautiful daughter
wishing he was there
to keep them from harm
as a river of red flowed down his arm.
He knew right then that he could
go home
but has he done enough
the love for his country was in his bones.
When he called from his hospital bed
he talked to the little girl
and thought about what she said
whether you come home
or decide to stay,
your my hero in every way
those words of wisdom
from his little girl
gave him the strength and courage
to go and win the war
and when he sailed back
he knew he was home
the smile on that little girl's face
told him he was no longer alone
one little girl who remembers the day
when her daddy came home...
home to stay
