[Verse 1]
Pray for the fightin' man
For peace in fields of war
And pray for the mothers who sent their sons
A prayer for one day more
And pray for the fathers
Who raised their boys so proud
To stand up for what they believe
And pray for their wives
As they sleep in their half empty beds
And the children they haven't met

[Chorus]
Think of him and say a prayer
Look around at all he's missing
While we're lying in our beds
He's out there taking fire
And he didn't ask for this to happen
But he will answer when he's called
He may not understand the plans
So pray for the fightin' man

[Verse 2]
Pray for the leaders of our country
Guidance in way of the light
Pray for the allies who fight by our sides
Assurance that they're in the right
And pray for the adversary changing their hearts
Redemption to come to their land
Pray for them all for trying and dying
And pray for the fightin' man
[Chorus]
Think of him and say a prayer
Look around at all he's missing
While we're lying in our beds
He's out there taking fire
He didn't ask for this to happen
But he will answer when he's called
He may not understand the plans
So pray for the fightin' man

[Chorus]
Think of him and say a prayer
Look around at all he's missing
While we're lying in our beds
He's out there taking fire
And he didn't ask for this to happen
But he will answer when he's called
He may not understand the plans
So pray for the fightin' man
