The tears began to flow
She watched with a heavy heart
As he bowed to kiss the children
On their faces in the dark

She knew down deep inside
That she needed to be strong
Cause he'd committed to the fight
And she knew that all along

But even though the freedom
Of her children was at stake
She just couldn't hold the tears back
As he looked into her face.

Chorus
She's a mommy
She's a wife
She is holding down the home front
While Daddy fights for what is right
She's a chauffer
She's a home room mom
And she whispers a prayer every time she feels alone
but for the sake of love she presses on
Cause she's a HERO AT HOME.

Verse
He gets one or two letters
Each week faithfully
Their full of love and homemade pictures
The kids drew so carefully

Cause she's not there
But she can imagine
How it feels when
You can't be havin' /
the ones you love right beside you.

Bridge
And to all of the families and the soldiers you love so
May God give you strength and peace as you wait for them
to come home.

But for the sake of love she presses on
But for the sake of love she's staying strong
She's a HERO AT HOME.
