Lyrics

The Warrior's Son
(D. Kincaid)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Well, I swore when I was still quite young 
"I won't march in line or carry a gun 
The Warrior's Son though I may be 
A warrior I will never be" 
Oh, Father can you never see 
What they've done to you you've done to me? 
Since on my two legs I could stand 
I've been as one of your command 

I'm the Warrior's Son born and bred 
And for this land I've fought and bled 
Though I've never worn a uniform 
I've had to give my all since I was born 

They took you away and trained you well 
Then sent you off to face the hell 
You returned a violent man 
Cold of heart with an iron hand 
Oh, Father can you never see 
What they've done to you you've done to me ? 
The war inside you rages on 
You wage it with your Warrior's Son 

And time washes away 
A sea of blood and pain 
The blinding fear will fade 
To let you love again 

Your duty sworn your duty done 
Now you must lay down your gun 
And reconcile with your family 
And regain your humanity 
Oh, Father you risked everything 
For you flesh and blood and your country 
And after all was said and done 
I'm proud to be the Warrior's Son
