Flags
The stars shine as the plane takes off
Children are put to bed by a loving hand
He climbs higher until he sees over the clouds
Counting sheep as the minutes go by
Finally sees what he's aiming for
Dozing off, warm and happy
Takes the shot and the enemy goes down
Wonders where daddy is, since it is kind of dark
Turns around and heads back home
His smile plays in my mind
Her smile plays in my mind
Mommy creeps in and snuggles up to me
Plane touches down in silence
She holds my hand tight and curls up, head in my hair
Step off the plane and start to drive
Falls asleep in the dark, with mommy nearby
Climbs in to bed with child and wife
Imagines a world filled with love
My family is here, and we are safe.
Curls up together and sleeps in peace
