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
