Lord please take care of the son I bore Whom you've sent to fight this war I have a need to say this out loud On one hand I'm scared, on the other I'm proud It hasn't been so long ago That I watched my young child grow From diapers, shots and schools first day Yes, it doesn't seem so far away Now he's grown and I can see He's the greatest gift you've given me So into your hands my son I give Yet pray each day you'll let him live Amen
