Between the battle's thunder a soldier sits and wonder
And in his hand he holds a tear-stained note
He wonders how to answer the question in the letter
And once again he reads the words she wrote

Your little daughter's crying she wants to see her daddy
She wonders why it is he won't come home
Your little daughter loves you and she can't understand you
Oh she's been so unhappy since you've gone

She's been asking questions and I have always answered
He's helping someone in some far off land
But she has different questions that I can't seem to answer
So maybe you can help her understand

She said remember all those people on the other side of town
Daddy said he'd like to help someday
Well why can't daddy help them instead of who he's helping
And then he wouldn't be so far away

Between the battle's thunder a soldier sits and wonder
Of question he is holding in his hand
But he can't seem to answer the question in the letter
And so he raeds it over once again

She said remember all those people on the other side of town...
She said remember all those people on the other side of town...
