Mother how I've bled
A scrape on the knee
A bump on the head
Mother how I've cried
Oh, mother of mine, mother of mine
I need you
Oh I need you
Your child is growing older
Mother will you be
A sun in the sky
Comforting me
Stepping out the door
This isn't my fight
It isn't my war
I need you
Oh I need you
Your child is growing older
Your son is now a soldier
My brother, brother
He's dying
My mother, mother
She's crying
Mother, can it end?
Will l be strong?
I cannot pretend
Mother, how I've tried
Oh, mother of mine, mother of mine
I need you, Oh I need you
Your child is growing older
Your son is now a soldier
Woah, Woah
I need you, Oh I need you
Your child is growing older
Your son is now a soldier
