Mr. Soldier
A Prayer for Our Soldiers: Hope in the Night
Lyrics
Hey Mr. Soldier, I have a prayer for you
Expressing a desire to pray for the soldier
You?re the one I sent it to, late last night
Confirming the intended recipient of the prayer
I saw your picture, in my dreams
Referencing seeing the soldier's image in a dream
You were broke down, but full of life
Describing the soldier as emotionally exhausted but still vibrant with life
I don?t know who you are, I don?t even know your name
Admitting lack of personal knowledge about the soldier
But just the same, Mr. Soldier, I have a prayer for you
Reiterating the intention to pray for the soldier despite not knowing them
Mr. Soldier, I have a prayer for you
Restating the prayerful intention for the soldier
I sent it to God, late last night
Noting the act of sending the prayer to God
He put it in your pocket, and in your heart
Imagining God placing the prayer in the soldier's possession and heart
And may it get you, to morning?s light
Wishing for the prayer to guide the soldier through difficulties to a new day
You may not know how much we care
Expressing concern despite physical absence
Cause we?re not there to ease your pain
Recognizing the inability to directly alleviate the soldier's suffering
But just the same, Mr. Soldier, I have a prayer for you
Reiterating the commitment to pray for the soldier despite distance
I pray for your strength, I pray for your safety
Specifically praying for the soldier's strength and safety
I pray for your momma, I pray for your daddy
Extending prayers to the soldier's family members
I pray for your sisters, I pray for your brothers
Continuing prayers for the soldier's siblings
I pray for your wife, your husband your sons and your daughters
Expanding prayers to encompass the soldier's spouse and children
You may not come home to accolades, you may not come home to parades
Acknowledging the soldier's potential return without fanfare
But just the same, mr. Soldier, I have a prayer for you
Restating the commitment to pray for the soldier
Mr Soldier, I have a prayer for you.
Reaffirming the prayerful sentiment for the soldier
You?re the one I sent it to late last night
Confirming the repeated act of sending the prayer to the soldier
