Got Your Back

I am a small and precious child,
    my Daddys been sent to fight
The only place I will see his face,
    is in my dreams at night
He will be gone too many days,
    for my young mind to keep track.
I may be sad, but I am proud,
    my Daddy's got your back

I am a caring mother,
    my son has gone to war
My mind is filled with worries
    that I have never known before
Every day I try to keep
    my thoughts from turning black
I may be sad, but I am proud,
    my son has got your back.

I am a strong and loving wife,
    with a husband soon to go
There are times I am terrified,
    in ways most never know
I bite my lip and force a smile,
    as I watch my husband pack
My heart may break but I am proud,
    my husband's got your back.

I am a soldier;
    serving proudly, standing tall.
I fight for freedom, yours and mine,
    by answering this call.
I do my job while knowing,
    the thanks it sometimes lacks.
Say a prayer that I come home,
    its me that's got your back
