she smiles it's another day   no one knocked on her door today she hugs her children, tries not to cry a gla*s of wine to forget the day she writes him a letter hey baby everything's ok (just come home) can you hear my prayer   I wont live without his love its time he comes home to see the daddy he's become every child needs a father not a hero in a box leaving tears that never dry and a lifetime full of thoughts and a lifetime that will never be scared to watch the news and hear them say a soldier lost his life she prays kisses his picture and hope remains inside her never questions why 'cause she knows he loves his country a place that needs to be safe for our children to grow oh tried to be strong and understanding but dying won't set us free   no, no – freedom is living with the one we love I wanta be free to smile free to learn, free to love, free to speak, free… every child needs a father not a hero in a box leaving tears that never dry and a lifetime full of thoughts   that will never be…  if you're not free if you're not free
