This Is My Son

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.
