Soldier's Promise

[Verse]
His boots are on the porch, her letters in his hand,
Prayin' by the window, he tries to understand.
The stars above are silent, but his heart can hear her call,
Waitin' for his soldier, to come back through it all.

[Verse 2]
The kids are askin' questions, they see the tears he's hidin',
Strength in every letter, gives him strength for fightin'.
Each night he lights a candle, keeps it burnin' by the door,
Hopes and dreams are tangled, in the days of war.

[Chorus]
Hold on tight, through every fight,
The dawn will break, bring back the light.
Her love's the fire that keeps him warm,
Faith in heart through the storm.

[Verse 3]
She wrote about the battles, the nights that had no end,
How the thought of comin' home is what she'd defend.
He whispers to the night, “Please keep her safe and sound,”
His love will be the anchor, 'til she's back in town.

[Verse 4]
Her smile in every picture, her laugh he longs to hear,
In the quiet moments, he can feel her near.
He swears upon the moon, that no matter how long,
He'll be there waitin', their bond is mighty strong.

[Chorus]
Hold on tight, through every fight,
The dawn will break, bring back the light.
Her love's the fire that keeps him warm,
Faith in heart through the storm.
