Pray for the fightin' man For peace in fields of war And pray for the mothers who sent their sons A prayer for one day more And pray for the fathers Who raised their boys so proud To stand up for what they believe And pray for their wives As they sleep in their half empty beds And the children they haven't met Think of him and say a prayer Look around at all he's missing While we're lying in our beds He's out there taking fire And he didn't ask for this to happen But he will answer when he's called He may not understand the plans So pray for the fightin' man Pray for the leaders of our country Guidance in way of the light Pray for the allies who fight by our sides Assurance that they're in the right And pray for the adversary changing their hearts Redemption to come to their land Pray for them all for trying and dying And pray for the fightin' man Think of him and say a prayer Look around at all he's missing While we're lying in our beds He's out there taking fire He didn't ask for this to happen But he will answer when he's called He may not understand the plans So pray for the fightin' man Think of him and say a prayer Look around at all he's missing While we're lying in our beds He's out there taking fire And he didn't ask for this to happen But he will answer when he's called He may not understand the plans So pray for the fightin' man
