loreena mckennitt - breaking of the sword lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
on a sunny april morning
my dear son, you were born
until one day you were called away
and from my heart was torn

[verse 2]
as a boy, you knew the stables
as a lad, you knew the fields
my son, you worked beside me
but to country you must yield

[chorus]
you were called to serve the country
you were called to serve the king
and from our home, you left one day
and of this, today, i sing

[verse 3]
when i stood there at the station
and our eyes one last time met
it was that – that moment, my dear son
’tis that i’ll ne’er forget

[verse 4]
is it now, a mother’s blessing
but the country’s truly free
you gave your life for all of us
and all humanity

[verse 5]
as i stand here at your graveside
the spring birds sing their song
my child, i love you more and more
and will, my whole life long

[chorus]
you were called to serve our country
you were called to serve the king
and from our home, you left one day
and of this, today, we sing
