Safe Back Home

I put on her colors with honor

And carried them over the sea

To battle at the mouth of the devil's tunnels

Are you safe back home praying for me

And do you still use the same words you taught me

That you learned at the Dear Savior's knee

On that sweet morning there in the garden

And are you safe back home praying for me

How long (how long)

How long (how long)

Will the words of this prayer be my hope

If it be His will and I'm the leopard that will

We'll say Amen together I know

On patrol in the cold of this desert

I trembled as I waited for my relief

And I picture a circle of family

Are you safe back home praying for me

Chorus

How long (how long)

How long (how long)

How long (how long)

How long (how long)

How long (how long)

How long
