Lyrics
LETTERS FROM A HUSBAND
TO HIS WAITING WIFE
REFLECTIONS OF DREAMS THEY SHARED
FOR THE COMING NEW LIFE
SHE’S PREGNANT WITH HIS LITTLE BOY
WHO HE MAY NEVER KNOW
WORD OF LOVE ARE ALL HE WRITES
SO HIS FEAR SHE’LL NEVER KNOW
LETTERS FROM A YOUNG MAN
IN A WAR FAR AWAY
TRYING TO COME TO TERMS
WITH WHAT HE HAS TO SAY
LETTERS FROM A SON
TO HIS MOM AND DAD
CONFIDING IN THEIR TRUST
THE THINGS THAT MAKE HIM SAD
CHILDREN WITHOUT FATHERS
ARE CRYING IN THE STREET
DEATH’S AROUND EACH CORNER
IN THE STRANGERS THAT YOU MEET
(CHORUS)
LETTERS TO A TEACHER
ABOUT THINGS THAT HE HAS LEARNED
ABOUT A WAR TORN COUNTRY
HOW FREEDOM MUST BE EARNED
TRYING TO MAKE SOME SENSE
OF SUCH A SENSELESS WAR
HOPING THEY CAN TELL HIM
WHAT HE’S FIGHTING FOR
(CHORUS)
LETTERS FROM AN OLD FRIEND
TO THE PAL HE LEFT BEHIND
LOOKING FOR A LAUGH OR TWO
THAT’S BEEN SO HARD TO FIND
TRYING TO PUT SOME NORMAL
IN ALL THIS DISARRAY
BEFORE HE LOADS HIS PACK
AND GETS THE MISSION UNDER WAY
(FINAL CHORUS)
LETTERS FILLED WITH HOPES AND DREAMS
LETTERS PEOPLE SAVE
LETTERS FROM A HERO
PLACED UPON HIS
