|
I keep a light in the window |
|
Dark band on my heart |
|
Some days are better than others |
|
Mostly I'm falling apart |
|
I keep his picture beside me |
|
I see the dream in his eyes |
|
I watch the light disappearing |
|
Into unsettled skies |
|
You say the world will be a better place |
|
After this war is won |
|
You say no sacrifice too great |
|
But every soldier is a mother's son |
|
I know he can't take the killing |
|
And how it messes with his soul |
|
I know the days are unending |
|
When you're so far from home |
|
You say the world will be a better place |
|
After this war is won |
|
You say no sacrifice too great |
|
But every soldier is a mother's son |
|
You say the world will be a better place |
|
After this war is won |
|
You say no sacrifice too great |
|
But every soldier is a mother's son |
|
No war that can be won |
|
When every soldier is a mother's son |
|
No war that can be won |
|
When every soldier is a mother's son |
|
I keep a light in the window |
|
I keep a vigil inside |
|
I say a prayer for those mothers |
|
Across the enemy lines |
|
You say the world will be a better place |
|
After this war is won |
|
You say no sacrifice too great |
|
But every soldier is a mother's son |
|
You say the world will be a better place |
|
After this war is won |
|
You say no sacrifice too great |
|
But every soldier is a mother's son |
|
Every soldier is a mother's son |
|
Every soldier is a mother's son |
