Beaten to the bone with these tears that never cease fire
We're lost in a daze, enough with this patience
We haven't sought help but we just can't take this
Caution to children who might never see the day
Might never see the confidence flowing down their face
That one day he will return, come back when they've heard
That the foolish battle's over, there has been enough hurt
But they hang onto the thread of a line they were told
Hold onto it through the harsh winds of the cold
While their mothers keep 'em whole, they still feel alone
Can't live with themselves waiting for dad to come home
But all they can do is just sit and wait
For the door to open on a sunny day
But it's been raining for the past three days
And all they can remember are his words in faith
"I love you"
"I love you"
"I'll miss you"
"Don't worry, I'll come back"
They said, "Don't go Dad"
"You'll die, Dad"
He said, "Don't say that"
"Don't worry, I'll come back"
Now let's take a more definite look at our soldiers
Written with the rage that's worn, ripped on their shoulders
Marked with the memories that keep them all warmer
Produced by the power that pushed them into this corner
Caught in the crossfire of leaders being liars
What is there to do when the few don't put out the fire?
What is there to say when we pray when we're all tired?
Looking to the skies above for that love inspired
For that love given to them from their troubled wives
Wrapped, alone, at night in their bed in fright
Tries to keep her eyes dry, hide that fear inside
That something might've happened to him in this fight
But all she can do is just sit and wait
For the door to open on a sunny day
But it's been raining for the past three days
And all she can remember are his words in faith
"I love you"
"I love you"
"I'll miss you"
"Don't worry, I'll come back"
She said, "I'll lose you"
"Don't go, I'll lose you"
He said, "Don't say that"
"Just have faith that one day I'll come back"
So the little children prayed on their knees
"Bring daddy back in one piece, please"
And the lonely wife saw them plead
Embraced them and told them "He's fine. You'll see."
But all they can do is just sit and wait
For the door to open on a sunny day
But it feels like it's been raining all damn day
And all they remember are his words in faith
"I love you"
"I love you"
"I'll miss you"
"Don't worry, I'll come back"
"I love you"
"I'll miss you"
"Don't say that"
"Just have faith that one day I'll come back"
