This Is My Son

My only son goes off to war

He’s unafraid to live and die for

The people don’t even know who he is

And I understand now just what you did

Chorus:

Cause this is my son, my only son

And I give him up for a people who don’t

Care that their free at the cost of his life

I understand now your sacrifice

You gave us yours and I gave them mine

Lord keep him safe he’s my only child

Please bring him back home

This is my son

I watched him grow into a man

And I must believe he’s now in your hands

Lord help me to keep in front of my mind

That you gave your son so that mine would have life

Chorus:

This is my son, my only son…

Repeat Chorus:

This is my son
