A Mama's Fear
I awaken with confusion swirling in my head
In a country far away my child lays down her weary head
In a hospital tent set upon desolate desert sand
Praying the night stays quiet in this distant foreign land
Prepared to do what she is needed in a war torn place
Administering aid to our soldiers in very limited space
Whispering words of hope to the soldier who's lost an arm
Silently asking for god to keep them all safe from harm
Americans and Allies fighting so we might remain free
For other people to understand what it is we all see
The joy of freedom to live and worship, as we see fit
To work, to play, to live our lives enjoying each little bit
To raise our flag in honor of the country we hold dear
If only there were a way to chase away this awful fear
That one of the misguided souls will harm the one I love
So I pray for each ones safety to a loving father up above
