I'm standing outside looking up and the moon is shining bright
I'm praying for our soldiers, so far away tonight
When you hear me sing this song, know what you do is right
As I hold you with my country song tonight
We have a lot of freedoms that my family enjoys
We live out in the country where there is so little noise
I think about you serving in that place so far away
Dodging bombs and bullets, facing death each day
I'm standing outside looking up and the moon is shining bright
I'm praying for our soldiers, so far away tonight
When you hear me sing this song know what you do is right
As I hold you with my country song tonight
My Daddy's Dad in world war two was a soldier too
My other Grandpa in Korea somehow made it through
He got a purple heart and carried shrapnel in his back
Fighting hard for freedom against enemy attack
I'm standing outside looking up and the moon is shining bright
I'm praying for our soldiers, so far away tonight
When you hear me sing this song know what you do is right
As I hold you with my country song tonight
My Daddy was a guardsman and he trained to fight with tanks
He tells me lots of stories about practicing with blanks
He was sure he'd have to fight Iran when they took our Embassy
Where they held our people hostage in their land across the sea
I'm standing outside looking up and the moon is shining bright
I'm praying for our soldiers, so far away tonight
When you hear me sing this song know what you do is right
As I hold you with my country song tonight
When you get where you're going I hope it is back home
I hope to share my smile with you and set you on a throne
A throne fit for a hero who served well with his time
Fighting for my freedom so precious and divine
I'm standing outside looking up and the moon is shining bright
I'm praying for our soldiers, so far away tonight
When you hear me sing this song know what you do is right
As I hold you with my country song tonight
For those who give their all and never come back home
I'll weep for your family so sad and all alone
I know God has a special place for Heroes when they die
The Angels will salute you as you come marching by
I'll stand outside and look up when the moon is shining bright
I'll pray hard for each soldier so far away tonight
If you hear me sing this song you'll know that you did was right
As I hold you with my country song tonight
As I hold you with my country song tonight!
