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
