This is My Son

Every now and then a story is told...



My only son goes off to war,
he's unafraid to live and die for a people who don't even know who he is,
and I understand now just what you did.

REFRAIN:
'Cause - This is my son, my only son,
and I give him up for a
people who don't
care that they're free at the cost of his life.
I understand now your sacrifice.
You gave us yours and I gave them mine.
Lord keep him safe he's my only child.
Please bring him back home.
This is my son.

I watched him grow into a man
and I must believe he's now in your hands,
Lord help me to keep in front of my mind
that you gave your Son so that mine would have life.

REFRAIN:
'Cause - This is my son, my only son,
and I give him up for a
people who don't
care that they're free at the cost of his life.
I understand now your sacrifice.
You gave us yours and I gave them mine.
Lord keep him safe he's my only child.
Please bring him back home.
This is my son.
