Story Behind The Song

A tribute to the men and women who are separated from their loved ones when serving in the military overseas.

Song Description

A soldier's song of love for his wife (or girlfriend) back home, and how every sunrise and every sunset unites them and enables him to count the days until they are reunited, leaving behind a better place.

Lyrics

There's a sunrise and a sunset everywhere everyday
Twenty four hours on God's great highway
On this tour in this land so many miles from you
I count the days count the nights know I'll make it through

Every sunrise every sunset brings me closer to you
I'm here until my work is done to serve my country too
Every sunrise every sunset a future yet to come
We deserve to live in peace, peace and freedom

I miss you I miss my home miss all I left behind
But I know that one day we'll share a better time
In my dreams you give me hope I hear your silent prayer
A word from you a picture too there's nothing to compare

Every sunrise every sunset brings me closer to you
I'm here until my work is done to serve my country too
Every sunrise every sunset a future yet to come
We deserve to live in peace, peace and freedom

I don't need no medals, ink is good enough for me
It won't be long before I'm back and then I'll never leave
When the kids play in the streets my job here will be done
It's tough every day for you but together we are strong

Every sunrise every sunset brings me closer to you
I'm here until my work is done to serve my country too
Every sunrise every sunset a future yet to come
We deserve to live in peace, peace and freedom

We deserve to live in peace, peace and freedom
