Mama, Mama, Can't You See??

Mama, Mama

Can't you see

What This Army's

Done to me?

Mama, Mama

Don't cry tonight

I've gotta go,

gonna join the fight!

Mama, Mama

pray for us

We need your prayers,

we need your trust.

Mama, Mama

I'll do well ~

write to me,

while I'm in Hell.

Eye-Rak. Eye-Rak

Afghanistan

Mama, I'm

a Soldier Man.

~~~~

Soldier Son, my son

I will cry

I gave you Life

and you may die

You won't see

my sad, soft tears

I've been brave

for all these years!

Raising you

was left to me

Your daddy left

the family tree

Daddy, Daddy

where were You?

When our dear son

was born, and grew?

Mama, Mama,

don't be sad

you were both

my Mom and Dad ~

Darling Son

My Soldier Man

Come back, come back

Soon as You can!

I'll be waiting

I'll be here

you're with me

You're always near.

Mama, Mama

I was shot

I'm not whole;

no, I'm not.

Mama, Mama

can't you see

what the Army's

done to me?

Cry for me, Mama

It's ok

I'll be home

somehow,

someday.
