00:00Anyway, this one is, like I said, probably my favorite George Michael song.

00:08Probably the most beautiful anti-war song I've ever heard, too.

00:17Also let me know if the stream is looking good.

00:37Oh, she knows, she takes his hand And prays the child will understand

00:58At the door, they watch the men go by In the clothes the daddy wore, mother's bride

01:13Baby boy, his father's eyes He's a soldier waiting for a war

01:24Time will come, he'll hold a gun His father's son

01:54And as he grows, he hears the band And takes the step from border man

02:12And at the shore, she waves her son Goodbye, like the man she did before

02:24Mother's bride, just a boy His country's eyes

02:32He's a soldier waving at the shore And in her heart, the time has come

02:44To lose a son

03:14And all the husbands, all the sons All the lovers gone, they make no difference

03:23No difference in the end Still hear the women say

03:31Your daddy died a hero In the name of God and men

03:39Mother's bride, crazy boy His lifeless eyes

03:47He's a sergeant now forevermore He'll hold a gun till kingdom come

04:09His mother's pride by George Michael I believe he wrote that himself

04:12A great songwriter
