Oh she knows
She takes his hand
And prays the child will understand
At the door they watch the men go by
In the clothes that daddy wore
Mothers pride
Baby boy
His father's eyes
He's a soldier waiting for war
Time will come
He'll hold a gun
His father's son
And as he grows
He hears the band
Takes the step from boy to man
And at the shore she waves her son goodbye
Like the man she did before
Mothers pride
Just a boy
His country's eyes
He's a soldier waving at the shore
And in her heart the time has come
To lose a son
And all the husbands, all the sons, all the lovers gone
They make no difference
No difference in the end
Still hear the woman say your daddy died a hero
In the name of god and man
Mothers pride
Crazy boy
His lifeless eyes
He's a soldier now forevermore
He'll hold a gun till kingdom come
The lyrics MOTHERS PRIDE of GEORGE MICHAEL is also present in the album Listen without prejudice (1990)
George Michael, all'anagrafe Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou (Londra, 25 giugno 1963 – Londra, 25 dicembre 2016), è stato un cantante britannico di musica pop, rock, soul e R and B. Con circa 100 milioni di dischi venduti, è uno degli artisti musicali britannici di maggior successo, sia in patria che all'estero. Inizialmente membro del duo pop Wham!, ha intrapreso una fortunata carriera solista nel 1987 con l'album «Faith», vincitore di due Grammy Awards negli Stati Uniti (come artista R and B, pur essendo bianco). Il disco è stato accompagnato da una tournée mondiale di grande successo. Successivamente ha pubblicato altri album come «Listen Without Prejudice, Vol. 1» e «Older». Dopo un periodo dedicato all'esecuzione dal vivo di cover di brani di altri artisti (a causa di problemi legali con la propria etichetta) e una breve crisi personale dovuta in parte a scandali legati alla sua omosessualità, è tornato alla ribalta nel 2004 con l'album «Patience». Tra i suoi brani più rappresentativi figurano «Faith», «Father Figure», «Freedom! '90» e «Careless Whisper».
