Mother's POW Prayer (Alice & Albert) 1980s pop. Patriotic. M.I.A. / prisoner of war theme. Plea to US government to rescue the P.O.W.s of Vietnam. "This is a mother's P.O.W. prayer, going up to heaven for our boys out there Lord please keep them safe from harm and bring them home from Vietnam This is a mother's P.O.W. prayer, dear lord I pray don't forget my son Its been a long time since the day they gave him a gun, he fought for god and country When they sent him overseas to protect our way of life and to preserver our liberty By now you wonder did his wife find another man He had to leave his little boy when he left for Vietnam I wish he had his picture cause his children are all grown And daddy's little girl has a little girl of her own He's out there in the jungle, my prayer will bring him home He's not the only one feeling lost and all alone All his brothers in the jungle living in this fear Hope you're listening lord, can't you bring them all back here This is a mother's P.O.W. prayer, going up to heaven for our boys out there Lord please keep them safe from harm and bring them home from Vietnam Some think the war has ended, soldier's work is never done They're still…
