Don't forget to often pray for the boys so far away
They have gone to fill your place out there
They're on the battle line in defense of your and mine
Hold 'em up to God in humble prayer
When the smoke of the battle clears oft my eyes are filled with tears
As I see some mother's son so still
I am thankful for your prayers to the one who always cares
And I play that I may do his will
* Refrain
In the beach head far away goes a boy for you today
And I know he thinks of home and you
When in prayer you're head is bowed mention those whe're out there now
Pray the Lord today to him be true
* Refrain
