|
I put on her colors with honor |
|
And carried them over the sea |
|
To battle at the mouth of the devil's tunnels |
|
Are you safe back home praying for me |
|
And do you still use the same words you taught me |
|
That you learned at the |
|
Dear Savior's knee |
|
On that sweet morning there in the garden |
|
And are you safe back home praying for me |
|
How long (how long) |
|
How long (how long) |
|
Will the words of this prayer be my hope |
|
If it be His will and |
|
I'm the leopard that will |
|
We'll say |
|
Amen together |
|
I know On patrol in the cold of this desert |
|
I trembled as |
|
I waited for my relief |
|
And I picture a circle of family |
|
Are you safe back home praying for me |
|
Chorus How long (how long) |
|
How long (how long) |
|
How long (how long) |
|
How long (how long) |
|
How long (how long) |
|
How long |
