Free - Chantal Chamandy

She smiles it's another day  
No one knocked on her door today 
She hugs her children, tries not to cry 

A glass of wine to forget the day 
She writes him a letter 
Hey baby everything's ok 
(just come home) 

Can you hear my prayer  
I won’t live without his love 
Its time he comes home to see 
The daddy he's become 
Every child needs a father 
Not a hero in a box 
Leaving tears that never dry 
And a lifetime full of thoughts 
And a lifetime that will never be 

Scared to watch the news and hear them say 
A soldier lost his life she prays 
Kisses his picture and hope remains inside her 
Never questions why 'cause she knows he loves his country 
A place that needs to be safe for our children to grow 

Oh tried to be strong and understanding 
But dying won't set us free  
No, no – freedom is living with the one we love 
I wanta be free to smile 
Free to learn, free to love, free to speak, free… 

Every child needs a father 
Not a hero in a box 
Leaving tears that never dry 
And a lifetime full of thoughts  
That will never be…  if you're not free 
If you're not free
