Mothers Pride Lyrics

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, mother's pride
Baby boy, his fathers 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 At the shore she waves her son goodbye Like the man she did before, mother’s pride
[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/mothers-pride-lyrics-george-michael.html ] 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 name mother’s pride
Crazy boy, his lifeless eyes He’s a soldier now forevermore He’ll hold a gun ‘til kingdom come
