i think what India is saying is... that the girl and the guy met one day, and fell in love, and had a child. and the guy asked her to promise her if one day he isnt there any longer. then she would remain strong for their children. as the song goes on, i believe the man died, perhaps fought for his child and his country "your daddy lived for you, your daddy died for you". and perhaps he passed away at an early stage in the child's childhood. and so one day as the child asked about his father, his mother retells the story about their father and how he passed away, and how he was a good man and fought for their country...
