Back home now I know you're probably sleepin'
Over here it's the middle of the day
I finally found the time to write a letter
Sittin' here a half a world away
I heard about 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 fightin' for
And if I die before you wake
I pray the world will take
A good look at what God's given us
That 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
But 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 will take
A good look at what God's given us
That 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
No it ain't too high a price to pay
If I die before you wake
