Sunday Flight to Baghdad
Forty-eight hours before your flight
Two long days, two long nights
We wait in silence before you go
Denying what we already know
Pretending life is as before
As we pace across the floor
And hear the wind loudly blow
Denying what we already know
Never easy this wartime leaving,
Always on the verge of grieving
We try to keep emotions in tow
Denying what we already know.
When duty calls you have no choice
Your life represents America’s voice
We wait in prayer before you go
Denying what we already know.
