Everything will be okay

The son and daughter would always say

He’ll be home soon we have no fear

There is no reason to shed any tears

Everything will be okay

The son and daughter would always say

Baseball games and dance recitals come and go

But through it all he could never show

Everything will be okay

The son and daughter would always say

Months go by without saying goodnight

Their mother would always hold them tight

Everything will be okay

The son and daughter would always say

They begin to miss him more and more

And wait for him every morning by the door

Everything will be okay

The son and daughter would always say

They heard the news and began to cry

Nothing could overcome the joy in their eyes

Everything will be okay

The son and daughter would always say

He walked through the door with his army green

All you could hear are his little kids scream

Everything will be okay

The son and daughter would always say

He’s back in his town where he belongs

He is known as a hero brave and strong

Everything will be okay

The son and daughter would always say

His moods change more often than not

The kids are confused and sometimes distraught

Everything will be okay

The son and daughter would always say

Why is our dad not the same

He can’t even say his own name

Everything will be okay

The son and daughter would always say

They tell him they love him with all their hearts

And he knows nothing will ever tear them apart

He loves his kids, wife, and town

And doesn’t let war turn him upside down

Everything will be okay

The son and daughter will forever say
