Mother's Son Songtext
von Devlin

Every mum loves their son
Remember that the next time you′re loading up a gun
Cock it back, make it blow and then you run
Breaking a maternal bond holier to some

Than the Lord Jesus and Mary Magdalene
But a mum's mind doesn′t bare imagining the subject I'm tackling

Left to cry tears while they're screaming "
Is this even really happening?"
Every young soldier killed in the field
Never perished in a hail of bullets on his own
The shrapnel tore holes through his whole home
To leave the mother of his first-borns heart-broke
You can never really hurt one person
Only damage everything they love and know
So next time you see red think slow
Before you strip another woman of her soul


We′re all just children trying to grow up here
We crawl to our feet then we try to run
Don′t be one of the fallen
Your world has just begun
In the end we're all just flesh and blood
All said and done
We′re all our mother's sons

Yeah, whether you′re rich or poor
Live like a king or you're sleeping on a old cold concrete floor
Somewhere in your city, nearly every man has got a mother he adores
But when the time comes to leave the nest
We have to learn to fly alone and fight our own wars
Through the trouble there will always be scars
Some men survive but for some it′s closed doors

Today it's like I don't know what to say
Looking in the face of the whole human race
In dismay, I think that we forget
We all evolved from the first strands of DNA

Creating many types of men
Thinkers and fighters and men of different shades
Opinions, measurements, shapes

And all within their mother′s eyes we′ll be great


We're all just children trying to grow up here
We crawl to our feet then we try to run
Don′t be one of the fallen
Your world has just begun
In the end we're all just flesh and blood
All said and done
We′re all our mother's sons

Let me take the opportunity to say
I tell my loved ones I love them every day
We′re all children of the planet trying to grow
While the hours and the minutes slip away
Some try hard and fight for the right path
Some stroll into glory like it's fate
But whatever life decides
The cards you've been dealt shouldn′t fuel you with hate

We′re all just children trying to grow up here

We crawl to our feet then we try to run
Don't be one of the fallen
Your world has just begun
In the end we′re all just flesh and blood
All said and done
We're all our mother′s sons

We're all just children trying to grow up here

We crawl to our feet then we try to run
Don′t be one of the fallen
Your world has just begun
In the end we're all just flesh and blood
All said and done
We're all our mother′s sons
