Every Soldier Is A Mother's Son

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
