She walked along the river’s delta, gazing out to sea.
She wondered why his life was taken in the war fought overseas.
She wondered why his life was taken in the war fought overseas.
Tommy cries and prays for daddy, wishing he’d come home to play.
While little Betty drew a pretty picture of a sunny, pretty day.
Mama cries and asks for guidance on how they should be told,
Soon their daddy will come home, but beneath the flag of the bold.
A soldier fought and gave it all, so we can all be free.
The sacrifice his family made, was made for you and me.
Salute his children when you walk by, and pray they’ll understand,
He made the ultimate sacrifice, on someone else's land.
Now Tommy is grown up now, he serves his country proud.
Betty takes up for his children, while he fights beneath dark clouds.
She walked along the river’s delta, looking out into the sea,
Wondering why her sons life was taken, in the war fought overseas.
