She walked to the mailbox
On that bright summer`s day
Found a letter from her son
In a war, far away
He spoke of the weather
And friends that he`d made
Said, `I`d been thinking `bout Dad
And the life that he had
That`s why I`m here today`
Then at the end he said
`You are what I`m fighting for`
It was the first of his letters from war
She started writing
[chorus]
You`re good and you`re brave
What a father that you`ll be someday
Make it home, make it safe
She wrote every night as she prayed
And late in December
A day she`ll not forget
Oh, her tears stained the paper
With every word that she read
It said, `I was up on a hill
I was out there alone
When the shots all rang out
And bombs were exploding
And that`s when I saw him
He came back for me
Though he was captured
A man set me free
That man was your son
He asked me to write to you
I told him I would, oh I swore`
It was the last of the letters from war
And she prayed he was living
Kept on believing and wrote every night just to say
[chorus]
You are good and you`re brave
What a father you`ll be someday
Make it home, make it safe
Still, she kept writing each day
Then two years later
Autumn leaves all around
A car pulled in the driveway
And she fell to the ground
And out stepped a captain
Where her boy used to stand
He said, `Mom, I`m following orders
From all of your letters
And I`ve come home again`
He ran in to hold her
And dropped all his bags on the floor
Holding all of her letters from war
