Broken Soldiers

{Verse 1]

He didn't say a word today

He just sat there in his chair

And every hour I bought a tray

But he never broke his stare

If I try too hard he pushes me away

My heart forgives a bruise or two

Sometimes he cried like a baby in my arms

And I rock him like I used to do

[Chorus]

Do broken soldiers ever mend?

Is anybody on their side?

In a war without an end, another hero is denied

And all the battle weary, mother arе the bravest of them all

Bеcause they'll fight the war alone

Before they'll let their broken soldiers fall

{Verse 2]

They took his uniform away, he's no good to them like this

And his wife, she couldn't stay

And he couldn't face the kids

A year of waiting for his safe return

A year of not so silent prayers

He came back but I don't recognize the man

He's still missing over there

[Chorus]

Do broken soldiers ever mend?

Is anybody on their side?

In a war without an end another hero is denied

And all the battle weary

Mothers are the bravest of them all

Because they'll fight the war alone

Before they'll let their broken soldiers fall

{Verse 3]

He wore Australia s flag with pride

He did what he did was born to do

And now my son is dead in side

What a mother supposed to do?

[Chorus]

Do broken soldiers ever mend?

Is anybody on their side?

In a war without an end another hero is denied

And I'm a battle weary mother won't someone hear my call

Because I fight the war alone

Before I let my broken soldiers fall

We will fight the war alone

Before we let our broken soldiers fall
