Annotation by Justin A. Brummer
Lyrics
English: "My son was a good boy, came home at night / Sure he had a few busses, but never a fight / He worked like a fever, to hepl mum pay the bills / But who'd ever thought he'd be sent off to kill / We've heard all the comment, the pro and the con / But nothing can replace my darling, my son / Now all I have now are the medals I hold / But I would not exchange them for silver or gold / No one but a mother knows this kind of pain / It all seems so useless with so little to gain..."
