She has a light and a faith that won't die 
She has a heart of a lion and the will to survive 
She has a pretty young daughter back home 
Who'll soon start to cry when she's gone 
When's she gone, when she's gone 
When she's gone 

Now she, spends her days with a mission to live 
She loves to laugh, and will offer a hand to forgive 
And she has a man with two arms open wide 
Who will take her in when she's gone 
When's she gone, when she's gone 
When she's gone 

She fights through the pain and she smiles when she sleeps 
And dreams of the day when we'll all finally meet 
She often says that she lives in a world we'll never know 
She hopes we'll never know 

We sit together and talk about our faith 
We play a game were we'll sing all our troubles away 
Though she's glad to be with me 
She knows damn well that her next life awaits 
When she's gone, When she's gone 
When she's gone, When she's gone 
When she's gone, When she's gone
