Quite an infectious, traditional, country tune and a bit of a message in the lyrics. Terribly sad ending, too.

Humble Country Songwriter.
Just a humble songwriter. First and foremost, a Tune-smith, I suppose. Yes, somehow, melodies just pop into my head, from, like, nowhere, man! Of course, to turn a melody into an actual song, it has to have a set of lyrics - but lyric-writing, for me, is more like "work". Contrast that with composing a melody - man, its such a buzz when you think you've come up with a half-decent new tune.

Story behind the song
How many people across the world do what I used to do - devote far too much time to "work" and not enough time to their loved ones? For most of us, life is a perpetual trade-off, continually trying to balance time but, if there's a decision to be made, it's just GOT to come down on the side of the ones we love. Remember, we only get the one life. Ok, sermon over, by all means have a listen to the song.
Lyrics
Seal Of Fate He signed his name, he sealed his letter with a kiss He's served his country, loves his wife, he loves his kids His tour of duty's at an end He's coming home for good The final letter he would send It never felt this good Poured out his heart right there and then Said all the things he meant to say but never could Chorus He fought so hard both day and night He made a stand for what is right The world's a safer place right now - yeah that's for sure But oh, however hard he prays He still can't see your face each day When he gets home, stay be your side, for evermore Two weeks later felt the wheels lift off the ground It won't be long before he's finally back in town But mighty storms have taken hold There's lightning everywhere The whole of Kansas, he was told Destruction everywhere The biggest twister to unfold Just tore the heart out of what once was their old town Chorus He fought so hard both day and night He made a stand for what is right The world's a safer place, he's proud of what he's done D'you get his letter yesterday? D'you hear just what he had to say? He's gonna stay right by your side 'till kingdom come He turned the corner, saw the carnage, just broke down His wife and children gone the way of half the town The pain is killing him inside D'you know he loved you so? The strain and anguish deep inside Oh Lord, he's got to know They say that fate can't be denied He found his letter in the wreckage, on the ground He found his letter in the wreckage .... still sealed down
