If I Die Before You Wake

I received a mail from Uncle Jacky just a while ago. At first I thought it is one of his jokes as I am used to receiving different jokes from him. Actually he always sends different emails to every member of the family. I was surprise when I opened it… the song If I Die Before You Wake was played. And oh boy it’s indeed a very beautiful and touching song dedicated to all the soldiers that’s fighting for the country… Is it worth dying for? … That’s the question that only “YOU” can answer. I believed that every one of us have different vocations in life. There might be time we get lost, but once you woke up from your nightmare and be dedicated to find your vacation… you will just know it because you can feel it….

Anyway, a big thanks to you my dear Uncle Jacky for sending me a wonderful email that contains a very beautiful song and lyrics.

If I die before you wake...
Back home now I know you're probably sleepin'
Over here it's the middle of the day
I finally found the time to write a letter
Sittin' here a half a world away


I heard about all them folks protestin'
As if I really want this war
But that don't stop me from believin'
There's just some things worth fightin' for

CHORUS
And if I die before you wake,
I pray the world will take
A good look at what God's given us
That we could only understand,
everything is in his hands
All we need is a little faith and trust
I want you to know it ain't too high a price to pay
If I die before you wake

Tell everybody that I miss them
And I can't wait to get back home
But until then I'll serve my country
And be proud to wear this uniform

CHORUS
No it ain't too high a price to pay
If I die before you wake
