Intro

watch another sun fall on the desert sand

And slowly I can feel the ache returning to my heart

I heard somebody say today we lost a man

And everybody's got their own opinion

On whether it's a good or bad thing we're doing over here

(Chorus)

But there's a little girl in Georgia lying in her bed tonight

While her mother holds her close and whispers, "It's gonna be alright"

And they'll pray themselves to sleep

And dream about the day when I'll come walking back through the door

'Cause this is what I'm fighting for

We passed another playground on the road today

A little group of girls looked up and waved at us and smiled

I think it's in their eyes I see the biggest change

Still everybody's got their own opinion

I can see the good and bad but when I close my eyes...

I see a little girl in Georgia lying in her bed tonight

While her mother holds her close and whispers, "It's gonna be alright"

And they'll pray themselves to sleep

And dream about the day when I'll come walking back through the door

'Cause this is what I'm fighting for

I know everybody's got their own opinion

I'm just here to do my job and I can't wait to get home

To that little girl in Georgia lying in her bed tonight

While her mother holds her close and whispers, "It's gonna be alright"

So I'll pray myself to sleep and dream about the day when I'll go running back through

door

Back to what I'm fighting for

This is what I'm fighting for
