For My Little Girl Lyrics

I signed up young thought I was made of steel

But leavin' her behind made it all too real

My baby girl only one when I left

Tears in her eyes I felt the weight in my chest

Every night on the front line I prayed

Wrote her letters just to keep me sane

Missed her first steps missed her first words

But every fight I fought I fought for her

Through the battle through the pain

Kept her picture in my pocket just to ease my brain

God give me strength to make it through

I'm coming home baby I'll fight for you

For my little girl I'll stand tall

Through the darkest nights I won't fall

Every mile every tear I fight to be near

God's got my back He'll bring me home from here

Woke up to the sound of bombs in the night

But her face in my mind kept me holding tight

She don't know the battles I've seen

But she's the reason I stand between

Enemy lines I'm fighting the fear

Knowing I'll see her smile when the smoke clears

God keep her safe keep her in Your arms

While I'm out here away keep her from harm

Through the battle through the pain

Kept her picture in my pocket just to ease my brain

God give me strength to make it through

I'm coming home baby I'll fight for you

For my little girl I'll stand tall

Through the darkest nights I won't fall

Every mile every tear I fight to be near

God's got my back He'll bring me home from here

Sometimes I wonder if she's growing strong

Does she remember me? Will it feel like long?

But God reminds me in every prayer

My baby's safe His love is there

For my little girl I'll stand tall

Through the darkest nights I won't fall

Every mile every tear I fight to be near

God's got my back He'll bring me home from here

I'm comin' home yeah I'm comin' through

For my little girl baby I'll fight for you
