BASEFORCE

When a loved one departs to fight in war, family members cling to news, any news, about the war's development. And yet they know, no matter what the news, their lives must go on. So they continue with everyday errands as much as possible. They focus on the duties of raising children, keeping a home, and staying healthy, upbeat and optimistic. And most certainly… they pray.

Called to serve, called to win
She prays you come back home again.
You have a job, she has one too.
I’ll tell you what gets her through,
She prays for you.

    CHORUS:
    AND SHE PRAYS FOR PEACE WHERE YOU'RE GONNA BE!
    SHE PRAYS FOR PEACE IN THE HEARTS OF YOU AND ME!
    OH, HER FAITH IS FIRM… SHE SENDS HER LOVE
    AND ASKS THAT GOD… WILL BE ABOVE
    KEEPING YOU SAFE AND THE BATTLES WILL CEASE!
    YES, SHE PRAYS FOR PEACE!

Chores at home, kids and school,
Staying busy seems to be the tool.
She sends candy bars and photo cards,
What else can she do?
    She prays for you.

    CHORUS (repeat)

Time is friend, time is foe,
This too will pass, this much she needs to know.
The preacher’s clear, “Don’t live in fear!
There’s something that we can do!”
    She prays for you.
    
    AND SHE PRAYS FOR PEACE WHERE YOU'RE GONNA BE!
    SHE PRAYS FOR PEACE IN THE HEARTS OF YOU AND ME!
    OH, HER FAITH IS FIRM. SHE SENDS HER LOVE,
    AND ASKS THAT GOD WILL BE ABOVE
    KEEPING YOU SAFE AND THE BATTLES WILL CEASE!
    YES SHE PRAYS FOR PEACE! SHE PRAYS FOR PEACE!
    AND SHE PRAYS FOR PEACE , FOR YOU AND ME!
    AND SHE PRAYS FOR PEACE WHERE YOU'RE GONNA BE!
    SHE PRAYS FOR PEACE IN THE HEARTS OF YOU AND ME!
