A tear rolls down her baby face
as she tells her daddy goodbye
Not really understanding
Why he must go away
Her daddy tells her he'll see her
soon but is unsure inside his heart
Hoping that he's won't be breaking
this promise to her today
He kisses his wife the love of his
heart, she understands but doesn't
want to. Knowing this could be her
last kiss, it means more to her now
He's prepared for this his whole career
Leaving them here today he doesn't
feel prepared at all but
He will fulfill his vow
To protect and serve even unto death
Freedom for all even those that hate him
He hopes they understand
As he stands proud, like a mighty tree
One last look back he takes as he
boards the plane to leave
Another tear, from daddy's girls, man
Freedom does not come free
