Dear Mother

Dear mother as I wave goodbye

Promise me you'll try hard not to cry

In my heart freedoms flame does burn

I hold no fear though I may never return

Son as I watch you walk through my door

It takes me back to the great war

Those where your fathers words I feel such pain

As with him I will never see you again

Dear mother I know you understand

The way I feel and how I love our land

I must fight to protect our faith

To let it fall would be such a waste

Dear mother today we win another mighty battle

We march on it's like slaughtering cattle

Another triumph another victory parade

I hope to be home soon as summer starts to fade

Dear mother I hope this letter finds you well

We have been plunged into natures own hell

There's no way back we are on our knees

Mother it's over as blood begins to freeze
