Verse I keep a light in the window Dark band on my heart Some days are better than others Mostly I’m drifting apart Verse     I keep his picture beside me I see the dream in his eyes I watch the light disappearing Into unsettled skies Chorus You say the world will be a better place After this war is won You say no sacrifice to great but Every soldier is a mother’s son Verse          I know he can’t take the killing And how it messes with his soul I know the days are unending When you’re so far from home Chorus You say the world will be a better place After this war is won You say no sacrifice too great but Every soldier is a mother’s son  (Repeat Chorus) Bridge      No war that can be won Every soldier is a mother’s son No war that can be won Every soldier is a mother’s son Verse I keep a light in the window I keep a vigil inside I say a prayer for those mothers Across the enemy lines Chorus x 2   Every soldier is a mother’s son x 2
