Daddy Take Care

My daddy is a soldier,
And I’m a soldiers son,
Tonight he’s away, getting the job done
A part of tradition and a proud history, Protecting our nation and his family

Daddy taught me about peace,
And he taught me about war
The Army and Navy,
And the spirit of The Corp
Aloft in the sky, and under the sea
The home of the brave,
And the land of the free

Sometimes I’m lonely, frightened and scared
That’s when I stop, and sing out this prayer
Wherever you are, I know that you’re there
Lord hear this child, and daddy take care

Teddy’s Rough Riders, Patton and Grant, American heroes who never say can’t
Can do and done, that’s what they said
Well they did and they won,
‘Cause they fought and they bled

Valley Forge and Flanders, Guadalcanal,
Iwo and Pearl and that special old gal
The mighty Missouri in Tokyo Bay,
Flying the colors, battleship gray

Sometimes I’m lonely, frightened and scared, That’s when I stop and sing out this prayer
Wherever you are, I know that you’re there, Lord hear this child, and daddy take care

The best and the bravest,
The bold and the few
Proudly defending the Red White and Blue
For we know that you’ll answer,
When your nation calls
But please God don’t let him end up
Another name on the wall

Now tonight safe at home,
With the folks we hold dear
Daddy’s far away,
But in our heart he’s right here
Quietly counting each moment until,
He walks through that door
And we know that he will

Sometimes I’m lonely, frightened and scared
That’s when I stop and sing out this prayer
Wherever you are, I know that you’re there, Lord hear this child, and daddy take care
Lord hear my prayer, and daddy
Daddy take care
