This Is My Son Lyrics

Intro in G
My only son goes off to war
He's unafraid to live and die for
A people who don't even know who he is
And I understand now just what you did
?Cause this is my son my only son
I give him up for a people who don't
Care that they're free at the cost of his life
I understand now your sacrifice
You gave us yours and I give them mine
Lord keep him safe he's my only child
Please bring him back home
This is my son
I watched him grow into a man
I must believe he's now in your hands
Lord help me keep in front of my mind
That you gave your son that mine would have life
This is my son my only son
I give him up for a people who don't
Care that they're free at the cost of his life
I understand now your sacrifice
You gave us yours and I give them mine
Lord keep him safe he's my only child
Please bring him back home
This is my son

Please bring him back home
