[00:00:14] She walked to the mailbox

[00:00:17] On that bright summers day

[00:00:22] Found a letter from her son

[00:00:25] In a war far away

[00:00:31] He spoke of the weather

[00:00:35] And good friends that he'd made

[00:00:37] Said I'd been thinking about dad

[00:00:40] And the life that he had

[00:00:42] That's why I'm here today

[00:00:46] And that the end he said

[00:00:49] You are what I'm fighting for

[00:00:53] It was the first of the letters from war

[00:01:02] She started writing

[00:01:04] You're good and you're brave

[00:01:08] What a father that you'll be someday

[00:01:12] Make it home

[00:01:14] Make it safe

[00:01:16] She wrote every night as she prayed

[00:01:24] Late in december

[00:01:28] A day she'll not forget

[00:01:32] Oh her tears stained the paper

[00:01:36] With every word that she read

[00:01:39] It said I was up on a hill

[00:01:42] I was out there alone

[00:01:44] When the shots all rang out

[00:01:47] And bombs were exploding

[00:01:49] And That's when I saw him

[00:01:51] He came back for me

[00:01:53] And though he was captured

[00:01:55] A man set me free

[00:01:57] And that man was your son

[00:02:01] He asked me to write to you

[00:02:04] I told him I would oh I swore

[00:02:08] It was the last of the letters from war

[00:02:14] And she prayed he was living

[00:02:16] Kept on believing

[00:02:19] And wrote every night just to say

[00:02:23] You are good

[00:02:25] And you're brave

[00:02:27] What a father that you'll be someday

[00:02:31] Make it home

[00:02:33] Make it safe

[00:02:36] Still she kept writing each day

[00:02:44] Then two years later

[00:02:48] Autumn leaves all around

[00:02:52] A car pulled in the driveway

[00:02:55] And she fell to the ground

[00:03:00] And out stepped a captain

[00:03:04] Where her boy used to stand

[00:03:07] He said mom I'm following orders

[00:03:10] From all of your letters

[00:03:12] And I've come home again

[00:03:16] He ran into hold her

[00:03:19] And dropped all his bags on the floor

[00:03:23] Holding all of her letters from war

[00:03:33] Bring him home

[00:03:42] Bring him home

[00:03:51] Bring him home
