FIGHTING FATE

Sweet Soldier of mine

In this picture behind glass

Out the window this morning

I watched our Daughter dancing in the grass

She was spinning, and laughing

Then she curtsied towards the gate

She looked like she was playing

But she was fighting fate

~~~*Chorus*~~~

She always plays

Everyday with you

She just needs 

A little time

We laid to rest a Soldier

But Daddy's still here

In her mind

~~*~~

When I put her to bed at night

She always has to kiss me twice

Whispers "This one's for you Daddy"

Then kisses me one more time

I can't get her to eat breakfast

Without a place set at your chair

Then she laughs like I remember

Fights fate, and puts you there

~~~*Chorus*~~~

She always plays

Everyday with you

She just needs

A little time

We laid to rest a Soldier

But Daddy's still here

In her mind

~~*~~

When fate reveals your deepest fears

Thoughts can't be defined

I caress your picture

You're still here in her mind

~~*~~
