Mother's Pride

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 come

This is a song by George Michael, from his "LISTEN WITHOUT PREJUDICE" album

Dedicated to all the mothers who lost and will lose their sons in war.

Will they die for a cause? Or is every war just senseless and insane? It makes no difference. A war is a war, and people have to die.

But will we just stand and watch? This world is decaying just because individuals take no responsibility for it.

Will you just stand and watch?

Until it is your son's or daughter's turn?

 

IF YOU TOLERATE THIS YOUR CHILDREN WILL BE NEXT
