Lyrics


VERSE 1
Her husband died when she was young
leaving her with a son
She taught him to love God
and his fellow man
Love for his country increased
as he grew older
When he graduated
he became a soldier

VERSE 2
His mama didn't want him to go
but he said I must
Freedom isn't cheap
someone must pay the cost
I'll write you every week
I'll stay in touch
God will be here with you
because in God we trust

CHORUS
Mama don’t weep for me
don’t cry
I’m going to fight for freedom
even if I must die
I know you’ll pray for me
that’s your plan
Always remember Mama
I’m your soldier man

VERSE 3
No letter came this week
so she knelt to pray
God be with my only son
keep him in your grace
She heard the knock on the door
thought it was a friend
The Captain said
Your son's been killed
on the battlefield

VERSE 4
Oh God how will I make it
How will I survive
My one and only son
Is no longer alive
Then as she finished her prayer
on that day
She could hear the words of her son
as he sang

CHORUS

CHORUS

TAG:
Mama, I want you to always remember
I'm your soldier man
