00:00Anyway, this one is, like I said, probably my favorite George Michael song.
00:08Probably the most beautiful anti-war song I've ever heard, too.
00:17Also let me know if the stream is looking good.
00:37Oh, she knows, she takes his hand And prays the child will understand
00:58At the door, they watch the men go by In the clothes the daddy wore, mother's bride
01:13Baby boy, his father's eyes He's a soldier waiting for a war
01:24Time will come, he'll hold a gun His father's son
01:54And as he grows, he hears the band And takes the step from border man
02:12And at the shore, she waves her son Goodbye, like the man she did before
02:24Mother's bride, just a boy His country's eyes
02:32He's a soldier waving at the shore And in her heart, the time has come
02:44To lose a son
03:14And all the husbands, all the sons All the lovers gone, they make no difference
03:23No difference in the end Still hear the women say
03:31Your daddy died a hero In the name of God and men
03:39Mother's bride, crazy boy His lifeless eyes
03:47He's a sergeant now forevermore He'll hold a gun till kingdom come
04:09His mother's pride by George Michael I believe he wrote that himself
04:12A great songwriter
