I hope these words might reach you today
Wherever you are before it's too late to say
For I am grateful; words alone cannot convey
The depth of my gratitude to a stranger miles away

I know it's not much
Compared with what you've done
I wish I had more to offer than just this song
But my words are few...

Thank you
For all that you have given
Selfless sacrifice,
Paid the ultimate price
The life you set aside for mine

I can't begin to pretend to know what it's like
Not having walked in your shoes
Or stood a sentry line
To your deepest longing
For your loved ones out of sight
Know that you're not alone
You're in our prayers tonight

Though it might not seem enough
For those who've been left behind I know
My prayers are lifted up
God comfort them
And heal their broken hearts, oh-oh
Grant them peace in time

I know it's not much
But this is all I have to say
Thank you
