michael weston king - i didn't raise my boy to be a soldier lyrics

[verse 1]
ten million soldiers to the war have gone
who may never return again
ten million mothers whose hearts must break
for the ones who died in vein

[pre+chorus]
head back town in sorrow and her lonely
i heard a mother murmur through her t++th

[chorus]
i didn’t raise my boy to be a soldier
i brought him up to be my pride and joy
who dares to put a rifle on his shoulder
to shoot some other mother’s darling boy

let nations talk through their trouble
it’s time to put the sword and gun away
there’d be no war today
if mothеrs all would say
“i didn’t raise my boy to be a soldier”

[verse 2]
what victory can cheer a mothеr’s heart
when looks upon her empty home
what victory can bring her back
all she can’t call her own
[bridge]
[let it mothers and surrender the years to be] (?)
remember that my boy, belongs to me

[chorus]
i didn’t raise my boy to be a soldier
i brought him up to be my pride and joy
who dares to put a rifle on his shoulder
to shoot some other mother’s darling boy

little nations talk through their trouble
it’s time to put the gun and sword away
there’d be no war today
if mothers all would say
“i didn’t raise my boy+”
“i didn’t raise my boy+”
“i didn’t raise my boy to be a soldier”
