September Day

He went away that September Day
and we all cried in our own way

He stood so very brave and tall
Not showing any fear at all

When we bow our heads at night
We pray that God will hold him tight

That he will take his hand
and lead him thru that foreign land

Until he's home again with us
We know in God that we can trust
