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 comeTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
