I'll Be Brave This Christmas - Big Daddy Weave

Dear daddy, I missed you today

When mama unpacked out old Christmas tree

And that sweet angel never looked so good on top

But my heart felt sad when you weren’t there to lift me

It’s been a while since you went off to fight the war

So this year it won’t be presents I’ll be wishing for

I’ll be brave this Christmas

While you’re still far away

And I’ll kneel beside my bed each night

Praying Jesus keeps you safe

'Cause I’m so proud of you, I hope you come home soon

But until you do, I’ll be brave this Christmas

I see bright colors light up the Wilson’s house

While rockets flash across your evening sky

And we sing carols, ooh, all over town

While you’re living out the cost of peace on earth tonight

But if another little boy can grow up just like me

Living in a land that’s safe and free

I’ll be brave this Christmas

While you’re still far away

And I’ll kneel beside my bed each night

Praying Jesus keeps you safe

'Cause I’m so proud of you, I hope you come home soon

But until you do, I’ll be brave this Christmas

Freedom isn’t free, there’s a price to pay when duty calls

It takes sacrifice from us all

So I’ll be brave this Christmas

While your still far away

And I’ll kneel beside my bed each night

Praying Jesus keeps you safe

'Cause we’re all so proud of you and I hope you come home soon

But until you do, I’ll be brave this Christmas

Ooh, this Christmas, I’ll be brave
