In Camo

I've been sitting here watching
The clouds on your wall
Hoping so bad
I won't ever get the call
That my baby girl,
Just had to fall

A worried father praying
To see her face again
He can't get that image
Out of his imagination

But she's turning fourth one
And he has the cake at home
Thinking he'll spend her birthday
All alone

She comes walking in
Surprising him
Like an angel in camo
Only a caring father would know
Then she blows out the candles
Making his wish come true

A mother of two sons
Wonders what to do next
She did all she could
She tried her best
Now she can't
Imagine the rest

Her oldest ran off
The military was rough
And he came back
But as for the other
He hasn't seen his mother
For what seems like forever

So he comes walking in
Surprising her
A soldier in camo
More beautiful than before
Making her wish come true
When he walked threw the door
