Broken Soldiers

He didn't say a word today He just sat there in his chair And every hour I bought a tray But he never broke his starte If I try too hard he pushes me away My heart forgives a bruise or two Sometimes he cried like a baby in my arms And I rock him like I used to do Do broken soldiers ever mean, is anybody on their side In a war without an end, another hero is denied And all the battle weary, mother are the bravest of them all Because they'll fight the war alone Before they'll let their broken soldiers fall They took his uniform away, he's no good to them like this And his wife, she couldn't stay And he couldn't face the kids A year of waiting for his safe return A year of not so silent prayers He came back but I don't recognise the man He's still missing over there Do broken soldiers ever mean is anybody on their side In a war without an end another hero is denied And all the battle weary Mothers are the bravest of them all Because they'll fight the war alone Before they'll let their broken soldiers fall He wore Australia s flag with pride he did what he did was born to do And now my son is dead in side What a mother supposed to do Do broken soldiers ever mean is anybody on their side In a war without an end another hero is denied And I'm a battle weary mother won't someone hear my call Because I fight the war alone before I let my broken soldiers fall We will fight the war alone before we let o our broken soldiers fall
