Give me the greatness of heart to see,
the difference between duty and his love for me.
Give me the understanding so that i may know,
when duty calls him, he must go.
Give me a task to do each day,
to fill the time when he's away.
When he's in a foreign land,
keep him safe in your loving hand.
And Lord, when duty is in the field,
please protect him and be his shield.
And when deployment is so long,
please stay with me and keep me strong.
