Mama is your boy home I used to see him here
No my son is gone away you won't find him near
Is he over there then fightin' in that war
No my son has left that place we'll see him never more
War
And now this war has taken away our son
Has taken away our son
What ever happened to love sweet love
What ever happened to
Love your brother love your sister one another
In the darkest hour
Mama what was he fightin for did he really understand
No my son just went along he was told to by the man
Mama he was my son too I feel for him I can
Northern soul is what he had and I'd rather have him back
War
And now this war has taken away our son
Has taken away our son
What ever happened to love sweet love
What ever happened to
Love your brother love your sister one another
In the darkest hour
He's a bird that flies in your yard
And he won't be back again so put him in your heart
Cause you made him with your love and he flies above
And we both know he was better than this war
Mama is your daughter home or has she to run her time
No my girl has gone downtown carrying a sign
Hurray for the peace parade and the lovers of free will
Free to surrender the need to kill or be killed
