Title: Trigger.

-"When's Daddy coming home? Mama, are we really alone?"
"Daddy'll be home soon my sweet angel, Allie baby, don't cry."

Most types of lying I will never, ever condone,
but this was a completely different kind of lie.

I rocked my peaceful baby to sleep for the last time,
'Cause deep down in my denial-filled heart I knew;

Tomorrow would be the last day she'd believe that line,
No matter what I desperately say or what I try to do.

Truth is, I found out that yesterday Daddy got killed.
An Iraqi soldier pulled the trigger out of hate;

And believe me baby, this isn't what God willed...
Daddy tried to clean his wound, but it was already too late.

The other half of me now lays in a shallow grave made of dirt;
and I wish with my all that this didn't have to be..

and Allie darling I know this will always hurt;
but for both of us I hope you'll always have me.

Our family won't be destroyed by a metal bullet casing;
and I know how this burns, but we'll make it out alive..

and now even though all our fears we're facing;
your Daddy would want us to thrive.

Even though your daddy lies in the dry desert dust;
As I rock you this night, know that we'll be okay;

Even though Daddy won't be here to see us..
Don't worry my Allie, we will see better days.

Now, Allie baby we’ll have to trust just in the Daddy above;
He’s always been in control and loved every man…

Just know that with him you have the greatest kind of love,
And though our things aren’t their best, Big Daddy has a plan.
