Larry Sparks - Casualty of War lyrics



Well he called her on the telephone
Two weeks ago today
He said now don't you worry mom
I promise I'm okay
She tried hard to hide from him
Her tears and all her pain
But he could read between the lines
And the miles so far away

She had never tried to tell him
How she hoped he would not go
To join the fight for freedom
And the country he loved so
He said I called to tell you
What I knew you'd want to know
That in just two weeks, dear mom,
I'm coming home

And she could not believe the words
Her precious son did say
She had dreamed of seeing him again
How it would be only days
And she wondered how this day could be
A million times before
Just to know her one and only son
Would be coming home from war

Five days later she was home
When a knock came on her door
And there she found two officers
In army uniforms
With their heads bowed low, their hats in hands
She knew what they would say
I'm sorry to inform you
He was killed in war today

The neighbors came to see the cause
For the cry they heard that day
For a mother's life was shattered
As the two men walked away
And no one could help her
As she cried such bitter tears
She was begging God to give him back
The son she loved so dear

And she could not believe the words
The officers did say
She had dreamed to see her son again
But hoped it'd be not this way
She wondered how this day could feel
A million times before
But she prayed they'd never bring him home
A casualty of war
