If I Die Before You Wake

Back home now I know you're probably sleeping
Over here it's the middle of the day
I finally found some time to write a letter
Sitting here a half a world away

I heard about all them folks protesting
As if I really want this war
But that don't stop me from believing
There's just some things worth fighting for

And if I die before you wake
I pray the world would take
A good look at what God's given us
If 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
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 would take
A good look at what God's given us
If 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
