As the planes lift our military into the air
Taking them places others would never dare
To an unknown world of horror and war
Leaving their loved ones to carry on ~

Husbands and wives are left to care for children alone
Knowing in their hearts they can't pick up the phone
To tell their loved ones how much they are missed
To seal their call with a beloved kiss ~

War is an ugly word
Not an uglier word has ever been heard
Disrupting lives to fight for their country
Sacrificing everything for freedom ~

Let us support our countries in that far off land
Asking God to protect them
Reaching out His hand
Protecting them in that foreign sand ~

Do not weep my child
This war will only be for a little while
Before long you will greet your loved ones
For in the face of freedom
The world will smile ~

The countries who flaunt their threats of war
Leaving their people to feel fear and cower
Hold fast my dear souls
You will be met by a higher power ~

Countries who treat their women like slaves
While the hearts of these women rage
To be set free from being wrapped from head to toe
Being watched wherever they go ~

Miracles can happen when the world says a prayer
Asking our holy Father
To keep our military in His care
Until they come flying home ~

Oh, what a beautiful sight
When at the mornings first light
All the planes start to land
At last home from their freedom flight ~

Oh, merciful God
We ask you to touch them with a miracle
Bring them safely home
Flying high on the wings of freedom ~
