Silent night
Lonely night,
praying my lover is all right.
His unit went out to Iraq in June.
They told us then he would come home soon.
How I wish it were true.
Oh my love how I miss you.

Silent night
Lonely night
The ten o'clock news gave me a fright.
9 soldiers killed by a bomber today.
Bush said the war was over last May.
But our soldiers still die
Now I am wondering why

Silent night
Lonely night
Yearning for my heart's delight.
Our soldiers are there 'til the fighting is done.
Leaving so many here waiting alone.
Praying for their release
Praying for heavenly peace.
