[Verse 1]
Oh, she knows
She takes his hand
Prays the child will understand
At the door, they watch the men go by
In the clothes that daddy wore
[Chorus]
Mothers' pride, baby boy
His father's eyes
He's a soldier waiting for a war
Time will come
He'll hold a gun
His father's son
[Verse 2]
And as he grows
He hears the band
Takes the step from boy to man
At the shore, she waves her son goodbye
Like the man she did before
[Chorus]
Mothers' pride, just a boy
His country's eyes
He's a soldier wavin' at the shore
And in her heart, the time has come
To lose a son
Oh, she knows
She takes his hand
Prays the child will understand
At the door, they watch the men go by
In the clothes that daddy wore
[Chorus]
Mothers' pride, baby boy
His father's eyes
He's a soldier waiting for a war
Time will come
He'll hold a gun
His father's son
[Verse 2]
And as he grows
He hears the band
Takes the step from boy to man
At the shore, she waves her son goodbye
Like the man she did before
[Chorus]
Mothers' pride, just a boy
His country's eyes
He's a soldier wavin' at the shore
And in her heart, the time has come
To lose a son
