Gold Star Mom

Gold Star Mom

 Jeffrey Michael Kennedy 

 Went off to fight the enemy

 Its almost like he never did get home

 The Boy his mama knew so well

 Came back changed but she could tell

 The Smile she loved in his brown eyes was gone

 She couldn’t change the ending of his song

 We don’t control the choices others make

 She only knows how bad a heart can break

 And how many tears she can cry

 How many times that she’s asked why

 Only someone else whose been there

 Knows how much strength you’ll find inside the prayers

 Of a Gold Star Mom

 She grew up with her hands in dirt

 Planting seeds in the Tennessee earth

 She put her heart in everything she raised

 When Her son was born she watched him grow

 When He came of age she let him go

 And said the secret prayer all mama’s say

 But she never knew she’d have to be so brave

 Repeat Chorus
