Lament of a mother


On his first day, I know it for sure
the rain was lashin' down
with big, frightend eyes he looked to the world
all so grey around

He was frightend for good reasons
cause now he is gone and how
how did you diserve - you his general
this new medal you're bearing with pride?

With pride he wore his uniform
with pride he bore his gun
I found no more signs of fear in his eyes
was he really still the one I once knew?
When just moments before I held him so tight
singing lullabies
When just moments before he lay in my arms
and I ask is it right when

My boy followed the call of the war
when now he is gone oh, how
how did you diserve - you his general
this new medal you're bearing with pride?

On his last day the rain it fell
endless down and down
with big, frightend eyes he looked to a world
all so grey around
He was frightend for good reasons
and now his frightend eyes
are starin' at the rain
but never feeling anymore
he's lying on a bed
on a bed of mud

Just moments before he lay in my arms
sleeping safely - oh, and how
how did you diserve - you his general
this new meal you're bearing with pride
now my son is gone and me
I am here to ask you now
how did you diserve - you his general
this new medal you're bearing with pride?
