This is the prayer that I say tonight
It is for my fiancé who must fight
For you see, he is away from me
Keeping his country safe and free.
This is the one that I love
And so I ask you Lord above
Please keep him safe while under way
And bring him home to me someday.
While he is gone please hear my prayer
And let him know I will be there
Waiting for him on the pier
Hoping praying with some fear.
This prayer is not for him alone
But for all military far from home.
I ask you to keep them safe and sound
On their way to where their bound
We love these men that are asked to fight
So, keep them safe for us tonight.
