One day, I will write for you a love song mother.
As the children say, I love you, please hold me.
And you and I, will live our life together.
Until that day when we die,
I will love you mama, I will always love you.
I am writing from this war.
Oh mama, I don't know what I'm fighting for.
And if you see my children, I bless them,
Kiss them and tell them that I miss them.
You see I'm frightened in the dark. Mama, mama.
The blood is ankle deep.
They have trained you boy to kill.
Kill someday he will.
They have trained your boy to die.
Mama take a look at your boy,
Take a look at him now,

He's marching.
He's a soldier.
Oh mama! Oh mama!
He's on the street!
He's bound to give up the action!
