A Mother says goodbye with tears in her eyes
Her husband is off to war
A daughter stands nearby, she doesn't know what mommy is crying for
Daddy is off to war
A brother picks his sister up and hugs her close
His father is off to war
An Army man stands at their door
Now brother is off to war
The mother holds the little girl tight
She cried herself to sleep that night
The next morning didn't get any better
A man at their door gives them a letter
It said there'd been an explosion, Killed eleven
Now daddy and brother are somewhere called Heaven
Mommy said they wouldn't be back for a while
The girl didn't know any better, she was only a child
The little girl grew up
But she couldn't ignore
The feeling
That she could do more
So she joined the Army
and now
She's off to war
