Lyrics
My Daddy's In Kandahar 2/4 Moderate 82BPM
INTRO Last 2 lines of the Chorus
VERSE.2
I passed a little boy today,sitting on a rock down by the bay,
the water and his eyes were the same blue.
I asked him why the tear stained face,
does daddy know your near this place,
should someone else be way down here with you.
CHORUS
He said, daddy's gone to Kandahar,
he's peacekeeping, he's not at war, yet,
mommy jumps with every doorbell sound
And last night on the phone she cried,
when daddy said a friend just died, from.....
something,somewhereburied in the ground
VERSE.2
I'm hiding here and I know that's wrong,
but I want mommy to think I'm strong
I don't want her to see my fear and pain
And I'm asking God to send them peace,
so daddy's tour out there would cease
and he could safely come back home again
CHORUS
He said, daddy's gone to Kandahar,
he's peacekeeping, he's not at war, yet,
mommy jumps with every doorbell sound
And last night on the phone she cried,
when daddy said a friend just died, from.....
something,somewhereburied in the ground
TURNAROUND...Last Line of Chorus
VERSE.3
My teacher said I must understand, My daddy's needed in Afghanistan
He's Helping every little boy and girl
But if they loved God the way I do,
they'd learn to love their neighbor too, So
please God make theirs a loving world
CHORUS
He said, daddy's gone to Kandahar,
he's peacekeeping, he's not at war, yet,
mommy jumps with every doorbell sound
And last night on the phone she cried,
when daddy said a friend just died, from.....
something,somewhereburied in the ground
TAG
from something,somewhereburied in the ground STOP
(Spoken only)
But he's peacekeeping, he's not at war
