Mark Schultz - Letters From War Lyrics

Send "Letters From War" ringtone to your cell

She walked to the mailbox

On that bright summers day

Found a letter from her son

In a war far away

He spoke of the weather

And good friends that he'd made

Said I'd been thinking 'bout dad

And the life that he had

That's why I'm here today

And at the end he said

You are what I'm fighting for

It was the first of the letters from war

She started writing

You're good and you're brave

What a father that you'll be someday

Make it home

Make it safe

She wrote every night as she prayed

Late in December

A day she'll not forget

Oh her tears stained the paper

With every word that she read

It said "I was up on a hill

I was out there alone

When the shots all rang out

The bombs were exploding

And that's when I saw him

He came back for me

And though he was captured

A man set me free

And that man was your son

He asked me to write to you

I told him I would oh I swore"

It was the last of the letters from war

And she prayed he was living

Kept on believing

And wrote every night just to say

You are good

And you're brave

What a father that you'll be someday

Make it home

Make it safe

Still she kept writing each day

Then two years later

Autumn leaves all around

A car pulled in the driveway

And she fell to the ground

And out stepped a captain

Where her boy used to stand

He said "mom I'm following orders

From all of your letters

And I've come home again"

He ran into hold her

And dropped all his bags on the floor

Holding all of her letters from war

Bring him home

Bring him home

Bring him home
