In the headlines and the TV news  there are soldiers who have paid there dues  and i've been waiting for a word from you  Cause you've been gone so long, and I  check my email and the postbox everyday  Waiting for a message that i hope will say  that all is well and you're coming home to stay    and I  Hope you get this letter  Hope you get this letter today  I Hope you get this letter someway  and I Hope you get this letter    The battle lines have been drawn in the sand  and you're fighting in a foreign land  and its hard for me to understand  Cause you've been gone so long  The president's said its just begun  and we'll keep fighting till the war is won  but you can't wait that long to see your son  Cause we miss you and we love you  and we're always thinking of you    I try to push my sadness aside  I try to keep my feelings alive  I'm trying not to go out my mind  but I don't know what to do without you baby  I'm hoping you will come home to stay  I'm praying cause you're so far away  I just can't wait another day  and i hope you get this letter    Hope you get this letter  Hope you get this letter  Hope you get this letter today  I hope you get this letter someway  and I hope you get this letter    Hop e you get this letter  Hope you get this letter  Hope you get this letter  and i hope you get this letter today.  Hope you get this letter someway  and I Hope you get this letter    these lyrics are submitted by sarah
