Every Soldier Is A Mother's Son Lyrics

I keep a light in the window
Dark band on my heart
Some days are better than others
Mostly I'm falling apartI keep his picture beside me
I see the dream in his eyes
I watch the light disappearing
Into unsettled skiesYou 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 sonI 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 homeYou 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 sonYou 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 sonNo 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 sonI keep a light in the window
I keep a vigil inside
I say a prayer for those mothers
Across the enemy linesYou 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 sonYou 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 sonEvery soldier is a mother's son
Every soldier is a mother's son
