Dear mother as I wave goodbye Promise me you'll try hard not to cry In my heart freedoms flame does burn I hold no fear though I may never return
Son as I watch you walk through my door It takes me back to the great war Those where your fathers words I feel such pain As with him I will never see you again
Dear mother I know you understand The way I feel and how I love our land I must fight to protect our faith To let it fall would be such a waste
Dear mother today we win another mighty battle We march on it's like slaughtering cattle Another triumph another victory parade I hope to be home soon as summer starts to fade
Dear mother I hope this letter finds you well We have been plunged into natures own hell There's no way back we are on our knees Mother it's over as blood begins to freeze
