The day our flagpole was ready, We had no flag to fly A mother stepped forward and said I have a flag with a tear in her eye It was given to me the day that we laid my son to rest He was a true blue soldier who gave his life his best. I got a knot in my throat and a chill in my bones A tear rolled down my face A mother has lost her son at war The pain on her face. In a mother's eyes you can see red, white, and blue In a mother's eyes you can see the pain so true Freedom comes with a cost of sadness and loss You can see in a mother's eyes. When someone puts their life on the line so others can be free It's a selfless act of courage and love, how thankful we all should be And when I look at the flag today, I see a whole new meaning there I see the men and the women who died for her So in this freedom we can share. In a mother's eyes you can see red, white, and blue In a mother's eyes you can see the pain so true Freedom comes with a cost of sadness and loss You can see in a mother's eyes. In a mother's eyes you can see red, white, and blue In a mother's eyes you can see the pain so true Freedom comes with a cost of sadness and loss You can see in a mother's eyes. |
