Back home now I know you're probably sleeping,
Over here t's the middle of the day.
I finally found some time to write a letter,

sittin' here a half a world away.

I hard abot all them folks protestin',

As if I really want this war.
But that don't stop me from believin',
There's just some things worth fightn' for.


And if I die before you wake, I pray the world would take,
A good look at what God's given us.

If we could only understand, everything is in His hands,
All we need is a little faith and trust.
I want you to know, it ain't too high a price to pay,

If I die before you wake.

Tell everybody that I miss them,

And I can't wait to get back home.
Until then I'll serve my country,
And be proud to wear this uniform.


And if I die before you wake, I pray the world would take,
A good look at what God's given us.

If we could only understand, everything is in His hands,
All we need is a little faith and trust.
I want you to know, it ain't too high a price to pay,

If I die before you wake.
