Give Him Back to Us

Little boy, blonde and blue eyed Blessed our hearts the day he arrived Three years later came number two With little blonde curls and eyes of blue 3 weeks after the day she was born We found out daddy was going to war The thought of being left all alone To raise them on my own It was the scariest thing That I could think about Thoughts of losing my best friend Fighting for peace, made us so proud Oh the sacrifices we made So that they can have what we have Will our family ever be, the way it was back then? Ooh, ooh Just before he left to go Here comes number three I kept thinking to myself "Oh, Lord! how can this be?" With him gone I'm doomed to fail At doing this all alone I prayed and what God said to me is "I'll bring him home" But, It was the scariest thing That I could think about Thoughts of losing my best friend Fighting for peace, made us so proud Oh the sacrifices we made So that they can have what we have Will our family ever be, the way it was back then? Ooh, ooh One year later when he came home What a great, and joyful day A hardened heart is all that's left Where a loving family man stayed How can we heal him With a war-torn heart? God give him back to us What the war tore apart And, it was the scariest thing That they could think about Thoughts of losing their best friends Fighting for peace, made 'em all proud Oh the sacrifices they made So that they can have what we have Will their families ever be, the way it was back then? Will our family ever be, the way it was back then?
