Paroles: Chantal Chamandy. Free.

she smiles it's another day  
no one knocked on her door today
she hugs her children, tries not to cry

a glass 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
