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
