Mother’s Son
(Verse)
Every mum loves their son
Remember that the next time you’re loading up a gun
Cock it back, make it blow, and then you run
Breaking a maternal bond holier to some
Than the Lord Jesus and Mary Magdalen
But our mum’s mind doesn't bear imagining
The subject I’m tackling, left to cry tears while they're screaming
"Is this really even happening?"
Every young soldier killed in the field
Never perish than a hail of bullets on his own
The shrapnel tore holes through his whole home
To leave the mother of his first-born's heart broke
You can never really hurt one person
Only damage everything they love and know
So next time you see red, think slow
Before you strip another woman of a soul
(Hook)
We're all just children trying to grow up here
We crawl to our feet and we try to run
Don’t be one of the fallen
Our world has just begun
In the end we’re all just flesh and blood, all said and done
We’re all our mother’s sons
(Verse 2)
Whether you’re rich or poor
Live like a king or you’re sleeping on an old, cold concrete floor
Somewhere in your city
Nearly every man has got a mother he adores
But when the time comes to leave the nest
We have to learn to fly alone and fight our own wars
Through the trouble, there will always be scars
Some men survive, but for some, it's closed doors
Today is like I don’t know what to say
Looking in the face the whole human race
In dismay I think that we forget
We all evolved from the first strands of DNA
Creating many types of men
Thinkers and fighters, and men of different shades
Opinions, measurements, shapes
And all within their mother’s eyes we’ll be great
(Hook)
We're all just children trying to grow up here
We crawl to our feet and we try to run
Don’t be one of the fallen
Our world has just begun
In the end we’re all just flesh and blood, all said and done
We’re all our mother’s sons
(Bridge)
Let me take the opportunity to say
I tell my loved ones I love them every day
We're all children of the planet trying to grow
While the hours and the minutes slip away
Some try hard and fight for the right path
Some stroll into glory like it’s fate
But whatever life decides
The cards you've been dealt shouldn't fuel you with hate
(Hook)
We're all just children trying to grow up here
We crawl to our feet and we try to run
Don’t be one of the fallen
Our world has just begun
In the end we’re all just flesh and blood, all said and done
We’re all our mother’s sons
We're all just children trying to grow up here
We crawl to our feet and we try to run
Don’t be one of the fallen
Our world has just begun
In the end we’re all just flesh and blood, all said and done
We’re all our mother’s sons
