Missing My Husband

My husband, my friend, when will I see you again?

I've been sent to war, not sure where I am going 
All I was told was that I was deploying

I miss him, come back, i never thought i would be sent to Iraq

I joined to serve my country and make my family proud
Now all I hear are bombs exploding and sirens aloud

Being here in this far away place
I look at these foreign people and don't see a familiar face

I want to go home, I'm scared for my life
All i wanted was to be a good wife
