Oh she knows
|
She takes his hand
|
And prays the child will understand
|
At the door they watch the men go by
|
In the clothes that daddy wore
|
Mothers pride
|
Baby boy
|
His father's eyes
|
He's a soldier waiting for war
|
Time will come
|
He'll hold a gun
|
His father's son
|
|
And as he grows
|
He hears the band
|
Takes the step from boy to man
|
And at the shore she waves her son goodbye
|
Like the man she did before
|
|
Mothers pride
|
Just a boy
|
His country's eyes
|
He's a soldier waving at the shore
|
And in her heart the time has come
|
To lose a son
|
|
And all the husbands, all the sons, all the lovers gone
|
They make no difference
|
No difference in the end
|
Still hear the woman say your daddy died a hero
|
In the name of god and man
|
|
Mothers pride
|
Crazy boy
|
His lifeless eyes
|
He's a soldier now forevermore
|
He'll hold a gun till kingdom come
|
