Story behind the song
This song was inspired by the numerous reports of our fallen soldiers during this on-going Iraq conflict, and the innocent children who are now growing up without their hero's. I wrote this back in 2004 when it was initially the Hot topic, but today it seems like very few notice or even care that this war is still going on today and we are still loosing our soldiers!

V1
Tried to be brave as she waved her flag
hugged her Mama tight yelled I love you Dad
he was off to the war in some foreign land
where there was no green grass, only miles of sand
V2
Colored him pictures sent her first lost tooth
kissed his photo every day they chatted over yahoo
late one night soldiers came to their door
said, ?sorry he?s gone? her Mama fell to the floor
Climb
She ran for the phone screamed my Daddy's coming home
then with all her strength she pressed zero
and cried
Chorus
Operator can you help me please?
Collect call To Heaven From Me
need to know if God has seen
man wearing Army fatigues
Please operator
he's my Daddy and we need to speak
Collect call To Heaven From Me
To Heaven From Me
Bridge
Now every night when she say's her prayers
she asks God to keep the Daddy's safe over there
and sometimes when she gets scared
she picks up the phone she knows he still cares
she says
Repeat Chorus
Oh, Please operator he?s my Daddy and we need to speak
Collect call To Heaven From Me
To Heaven From Me
