Lyrics
English: We miss him and we love him, we'll see him someday / The lord has drafted my son, he took him away / Oh why, I'll never know, the sweet lord will not say / The lord has drafted my son, and it broke my heart / Because my son and I had never been apart / The lord has his reasons, this I know / But we loved him and now we miss him so / The lord has drafted my son, he took him away / But this we know, we'll see him someday
