What Soldiers Do Lyrics

Come and walk with me, my son I need to share my heart Tomorrow when the morning comes I'm headed off to war Take care of your mother And your little brother, too I'm praying that I'll be home soon So I can be with you

I know you're only 10 years old I know that you're afraid But I need you to be brave for me And for the family I know it's hard to see me cry But put your mind at ease God is watching over us So we can be at peace

With all my heart I can't wait to tuck you in And sing a song to you Son, stand strong Love is the reason I would give myself for you 'Cause that's what soldiers do

Remember what I taught you now About how to be a man Talk with God throughout the day He will help you stand With faith to see, hope to believe And love for everyone Know that I'm so proud of you And I will always love you, son
With all my heart I want to take you to our favorite place And catch a fish or two Son, stand strong Love is the reason I would give myself for you 'Cause that's what soldiers do

And as I go, I want you to know if I don't make it home You are gonna be alright I'm telling you, son, you're gonna touch the sky Don't lose hope, just lift your eyes We'll be together again some day

So with all my heart Hold on to Jesus, son And He will lead you through Son, stand strong You may never go to war But you're a soldier, too And when you have a son like you Teach him to fight for what is true 'Cause that's what soldiers do
