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
