One Day
It was a dark December day, when a new solider went away
The sky was full of clouds the air was cold
He always stood for what was right, tried to avoid every fight
He would never ever hurt a soul
So you can imagine her surprise, the tears that filled his mother's eyes
When he told her boot camp had called his name
He didn't need to be a hero, he liked what he saw in the mirror
Thought he should help protect us all the same
His mother cried as he waved goodbye
Sure it was for the last time
Across the ocean he would fly away
Somehow she'd get through the years of waiting
Scared to death anticipating
But promised her that he'd come home one day one day
He didn't need to please the crowd or make his distant daddy proud
He told them all they'd never have to grieve
His girl embraced him, her fears she'd face them
She swore she never would replace him
That was a big promise she'd hope he'd keep
His mother cried as he waved goodbye
Sure it was for the last time
Across the ocean he would fly away
Somehow she'd get through the years of waiting
Scared to death anticipating
He promised her that he'd come home one day
The sky was full of clouds the air was cold
He always stood for what was right, tried to avoid every fight
He would never ever hurt a soul
So you can imagine her surprise, the tears that filled his mother's eyes
When he told her boot camp had called his name
He didn't need to be a hero, he liked what he saw in the mirror
Thought he should help protect us all the same
His mother cried as he waved goodbye
Sure it was for the last time
Across the ocean he would fly away
Somehow she'd get through the years of waiting
Scared to death anticipating
But promised her that he'd come home one day one day
He didn't need to please the crowd or make his distant daddy proud
He told them all they'd never have to grieve
His girl embraced him, her fears she'd face them
She swore she never would replace him
That was a big promise she'd hope he'd keep
His mother cried as he waved goodbye
Sure it was for the last time
Across the ocean he would fly away
Somehow she'd get through the years of waiting
Scared to death anticipating
He promised her that he'd come home one day
