I keep a light in the window
Dark band on my heart
Some days are better than others
Mostly I'm falling apart
I keep his picture beside me
I see the dream in his eyes
I watch the light disappearing
Into unsettled skies
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
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
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
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
No war that can be won
When every soldier is a mother's son
No war that can be won
When every soldier is a mother's son
I keep a light in the window
I keep a vigil inside
I say a prayer for those mothers
Across the enemy lines
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
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
Every soldier is a mother's son
Every soldier is a mother's son
Dark band on my heart
Some days are better than others
Mostly I'm falling apart
I keep his picture beside me
I see the dream in his eyes
I watch the light disappearing

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
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
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
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
No war that can be won
When every soldier is a mother's son
No war that can be won
When every soldier is a mother's son

Every soldier is a mother's son
Every soldier is a mother's son

. . . actually some soldiers are mother's daughters.
Muito Bom!! Nâo conhecia aqui no Brasil. Sua Radio é Excelente. Parabéns. Antonio Lá de Getúlio RS Brasil * Very good! Did not know here in Brazil. Your Radio is Excellent. Congratulations. There Antonio Getulio RS Brazil
A song with much the same message as this one may someday help to change the world. Too bad this is not that song. 5.
This world will be a better place when this song is over.
can't get into her, a whiff of faux is on all she does

This really needed to be played now. Those who don't get it need to get beyond their nationalist indoctrination and realize that we're all part of the same biological family. If we can't figure out that basic reality we're all screwed. Things can be worked out at any level; it doesn't have to be so nasty. Nice one, Heather. Thanks so much, Bill.
Admirable sentiment, but I just don't "get" this song. Way over/under my head.
Power to the peaceful and my pity to those too thick to know how important the message is. A big 10.

Politics in music is preaching to the choir, keep it out of the music.
Especially this bunch of hippy shit. Not even fit for my trashcan.

Hey Heather, not sure if you'd heard, but there are now female soldiers. But we can't expect the Heather Nova's of the world to actually know anything about the military or why we have one.

I heard this in the car the other day on RP and wanted to say this is a beautiful song....I'd love to hear it done in a rock and roll manner....much like "The World is A Vampire"
even though i agree with the sentiment of the song, this comes across a bit melodramatic for me... perhaps it would be better to me in a different mood.
Me too?!
Wow!
As a Father of a son in Iraq, and as someone who is direly opposed to this war, this song strikes home... to the heart.
