I keep a light in the window
Am
Dark band on my heart
G
Some days are better than others
Am
Mostly I'm drifting apart

I keep his picture beside me
Am
I see the dream in his eyes
G
I watch the light disappearing
Am
Into unsettled skies

You say the world will be a better place
G
After this war is won
G
You say no sacrifice to great but
Am
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
Am
When you're so far from home

You say no sacrifice too great but

No war that can be won

No war that can be won

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
