Every Soldier Is A Mother's Son Lyrics - The Jasmine Flower - Heather Nova

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
