~ They Won't Be Home For Christmas ~

They won't be home for Christmas,
They haven't got the time.
Their dinners are all MREs
Their stockings hung on lines.

Their mistletoe is missing
Their presents will be few.
They're busy Freedom Fighters
Giving all for me and you!

Their families all will miss them
Their children all will cry.
They won't be home for Christmas
And some of them will die!

Remember all our soldiers
In places far away
As you open up your presents
On this Christmas Day!

They're fighting for your freedom
They're answering the call
They won't be home for Christmas
God be with them one and all!
