ONE LIFE TO LIVE

Baby I got news today,
That I thought I'd never see.
I'm going to have to go away,
And I don't know where I'll be.

My country needs my help today,
To keep us safe to live.
Will I come back, it's hard to say,
I've but one life to give.

I give my life to keep you free,
And keep Gods grace so close to me.

So much I feel I want to do,
So little time to bond.
Our life together, still so new,
And a future lay beyond.

Three months on, you have my son,
And should I not return alive.
He's part of me, my little one,
And all I have to leave behind.

I give my life to keep you free,
And keep Gods grace so close to me.

I know he will be proud to know,
I helped to keep him free.
And you my dear, I love you so,
From now until eternity.

I give my life to keep you free,
And keep Gods grace so close to me.
