Lyrics


Blessed Are The Soldiers
By: Drew Rice

Verse

A little six-year-old named Gabby said goodbye to her daddy
She?ll be seven or eight before he?ll see her again
Yeah he?s off to do his job and he?s left his real job here behind
It?s freedom he?s going to help defend

He leaves his family and friends and the two loves of his life
With the third one six months on the way
Yeah he?ll hold a photograph of his brand new baby boy
Say a prayer go to work and count the days

Chorus

Sacrifice you bet
Don?t think twice and no regrets
He?ll do what he signed up to do
He?ll miss who?s left behind
But keep them in his mind
As he represents the Red, White and Blue
He?ll miss birthdays and holidays
Bedtime stories and stomachaches
While assuring that our precious freedom rings
Blessed are the soldiers
Who have given up everything

Refrain

A Mothers worried tears
And a Fathers worst fears
His sisters and wife all wait for his return
Blessed are the families
Left watching that candle burn

Verse

Now there?re thousands of little Gabbys
Who said goodbye to their Daddies
Or their Mammas begging them to stay
And the names are all different
But the story is still the same
May God bless you
And keep you from harms way

Chorus

Sacrifice you bet
Don?t think twice and no regrets
They?ll do what they signed up to do
They?ll miss who?s left behind
But keep them in their mind
As they represent the Red, White and Blue
Yeah they?ll miss birthdays and holidays
Bedtime stories and stomachaches
While assuring that our precious freedom rings
Blessed are the soldiers
Who have given up everything

Tag

And don?t forget the ones
Who never made it home
Somewhere a band of Angels sing
Blessed are the soldiers
Who have given up everything
