Chantal Chamandy Free
She smiles it's another day
No one knocked on her door today
She hugs her children, tries not to cry
A glass of wine to forget the day
She writes him a letter
Hey baby everything's ok
(just come home)
Can you hear my prayer
I wont live without his love
Its time he comes home to see
The daddy he's become
Every child needs a father
Not a hero in a box
Leaving tears that never dry
And a lifetime full of thoughts
And a lifetime that will never be
Scared to watch the news and hear them say
A soldier lost his life she prays
Kisses his picture and hope remains inside her
Never questions why 'cause she knows he loves his country
A place that needs to be safe for our children to grow
Oh tried to be strong and understanding
But dying won't set us free
No, no – freedom is living with the one we love
I wanta be free to smile
Free to learn, free to love, free to speak, free…
Every child needs a father
Not a hero in a box
Leaving tears that never dry
And a lifetime full of thoughts
That will never be… if you're not free
If you're not free
