This Is My Son - Cherryholmes

This Is My Son Lyrics

My only son goes off to war
He's unafraid to live and die for
a people who don't even know who his is
And I understand now just what you did
Cause this is my son my only son
I give him up for a people who don't
care that they're free at the cost of his life
I understand now your sacrifice
you gave us yours and I give them mine
Lord keep him safe he's my only child
Please bring him back home, This is my son.
I watched him grow into a man
and I must believe he's now in your hands
Lord help me to keep in front of my mind
That you gave your son so that mine would have life.

This is my son, my only son
I give him up for a people who don't
Care that they're free at the cost of his life
I understand now your sacrifice
you gave us yours and I give them mine
Lord keep him safe he's my only child
Please bring him back home, this is my son
This is my son, my only son
I give him up for a people who don't
Care that they're free at the cost of his life
I understand now your sacrifice
This is my son my only son
I give him up for a people who don't
Care that they're free at the cost of his life
I understand now your sacrifice
You gave us yours and I give them mine
Lord keep him safe he's my only child
Please bring him back home, this is my son.
