Lyrics
Dear Soldier
Do you miss your family way over there?
In a country that I can?t pronounce
If you catch the bad guy will his friends get mad?
Thank you for serving our country
Can you make it back soon?
?Cause I know your family misses you
Or are you alone
These are the questions of an 11-year-old
I just have a few I know you?re busy
But God and I bless you, and God and I bless you
Our school is having fund drives and wearing ribbons for support
Well, I drew this picture for you for good luck
May the Lord and world be with you and thanks for all you do
These are the thoughts of an 11-year-old
That I want to share with you I know you?re busy
But God and I bless you
And God and I bless you
And God and I and my family bless you
Well I know your family misses you
Can you make it back soon?
