Watching the news last evening,

And mama starts to cry.

Then I look over just in time

To see a tear fall out of daddy's eye.

Cause the news man said

Another one dead,

Another soldier gone

And I fell

On my knees

And I begged

O God please

Take my sister home. 

And I know 

That she's sinned,

But dear God,

In the end

She was one of the best people known.

So God please 

Take my sister home.

My husband is a soldier,

Fighting in the war.

And our little daughter,

Is just about to turn four.

He's hasn't even seen her

Since the day that she was born.

Then the news man said

Another one dead,

Another soldier gone.

And I fell

On my knees.

And I begged,

O God please

Take my husband home.

And I know 

That he's sinned,

But dear God,

In the end

He was one of the best people known.

So God please 

Take my husband home.

In the end.

They they were some of the best people known.
So God please 

Won't you take our soldier's home.
