Breaking of the Sword歌词

[00:33]On a sunny April morning
[00:39]My dear son, you were born
[00:45]Until one day you were called away
[00:51]And from my heart was torn
[00:57]As a boy, you knew the stables
[01:01]As a lad, you knew the fields
[01:08]My son, you worked beside me
[01:14]But to country, you must yield
[01:19]You were called to serve the country
[01:25]You were called to serve the king
[01:30]And from our home, you left one day
[01:36]And of this, today I sing
[01:43]music
[02:03]When I stood there at the station
[02:09]And our eyes, one last time met
[02:14]It was at that moment, my dear son
[02:19]'Tis that I'll ne'er forget
[02:24]Is it now a mother's blessing
[02:30]That the country's truly free?
[02:34]You gave your life for all of us
[02:40]And all humanity
[02:45]music
[03:28]As I stand here at your graveside
[03:35]The spring birds sing their song
[03:40]My child, I love you more and more
[03:46]And will my whole life long
[03:51]You were called to serve the country
[03:57]You were called to serve the king
[04:01]And from our home, you left one day
[04:07]And of this, today we sing
