I read in the headlines today
They sent my granddaughter off to war
But it wasn't the war of yesterday
This isn't what she signed up for
She told me, "Grandpa you'd never believe
What some people do and say
At any given moment I wanna leave
But I show up anyway"
So I tell her
My love...
Be gentle, be kind
Leave all the bad things behind you
Be safe, be brave
But most of all, my love
Be safe
And my sister's still fightin'
At the county hospital
So many lives in the balance
The front line is never dull
She says "Brother you'd never believe
The conditions I'm workin' in
At any given moment I wanna leave
But if I did who would step in?
