I want to hear a smile on your face, coming through the phone
Daddy’s always with you, even though he’s not home
Another first day of school, how’d you get so grown
God’s there with you, so you know you’re not alone
I’ll be back before you know it, in the blink of an eye
Hold your tears back soldier, you can’t let them see you cry
Protect your mom and your sister, they’re the reason you’re alive
You’re the man of the house, I hope you know it gives me pride
Be proud of yourself, you suffered through the storm
I knew you had it in you, since the day that you were born
You my heir to the throne and the kingdom is yours
Make sure you do your homework, remember your chores
Don’t forget I told you, take time and pray
Family’s heaven on Earth, you my saving grace
From the day I get out, I’ll make a change
So you don’t have to see your daddy being locked up in a cage
