Letters From War

Posted on February 18, 2004October 24, 2015 By Doriano No Comments on Letters From War

I don’t know if you’ve ever heard this song called “Letters from War” by Mark Schultz yet, but I just did and it blew me away. It’s such a powerfully moving experience, especially for people who have loved ones in the military. I got all emotional just thinking about either of my boys being in the service.



Anyway, here are the lyrics.

Letters From War

by Mark Schultz


She runs to the mailbox
On that bright summer’s day
Found a letter from her son
In a war far away

He spoke of the weather
And good friends that he’d made
Said I’d been thinking ’bout dad
And the life that he had
That’s why I’m here today
And that the end he said
You are what I’m fighting for
It was the first of the letters from war

She started writing
(Chorus)
You’re good and you’re brave
What a father that you’ll be someday
Bring him home
Bring him safe

She wrote every night as she prayed
Late in December
A day she’ll not forget
Oh her tears stained the paper
With every word that she read

It said I was up on a hill
I was out there alone
When the shots all rang out
And bombs were exploding
And that’s when I saw him
He came back to me
And though he was captured
A man set me free
And that man was your son

He asked me to write to you
I told him I would oh I swore
It was the last of the letters from war
And she prayed he was living
Kept on believing and wrote every night just to say

(Chorus)
Then two years later
Autumn leaves all around
A car pulled in the driveway
And she fell to the ground
And out stepped a captain
Where her boy used to stand
Said mom I’m following orders
From all of your letters
And I’ve come home again
He ran into hold her
And dropped all his bags on the floor
Holding all of her letters from war

Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home
