Mark Schultz - Letters from War Lyrics

She walked to the mailbox 
On that bright summer's day 
Found a letter from her son 
In a war, far away 
He spoke of the weather 
And the friends that he'd made 
Said, "I'd been thinking 'bout Dad 
And the life that he had 
That's why I'm here today" 
Then at the end he said 
"You are what I'm fighting for" 
It was the first of his letters from war 

[chorus] 
She started writing 
You're good and you're brave 
What a father that you'll be someday 
Make it home, make it safe 
She wrote every night as she prayed 

And late in December 
A day she'll not forget 
Oh, her tears stained the paper 
With every word that she read 
It said, "I was up on a hill 
I was out there alone 
When the shots all rang out 
And bombs were exploding 
And that's when I saw him 
He came back for me 
And Though he was captured 
A man set me free 
And That man was your son 
He asked me to write to you 
I told him I would, oh I swore" 
It was the last of the letters from war 
And she prayed he was living 
Kept on believing and wrote every night just to say 

You are good and you're brave 
What a father that you'll be someday 
Make it home, make it safe 
So, she kept writing each day 

Then two years later 
Autumn leaves all around 
A car pulled in the driveway 
And she fell to the ground 
And out stepped a captain 
Where her boy used to stand 
He said, "Mom, I'm following orders 
From all of your letters 
And I've come home again" 
He ran in to hold her, 
And dropped all his bags on the floor 
Holding all of her letters from war 

Make it home
Make it home
Make it home
