Kathy Briggs: Music

• MP3 short clip, hi-fi play (broadband)
• MP3 short clip, lo-fi play (modem)

  

I held the tiny hand of my young son
I’ve seen him crawl and walk, watched him run
I’ve seen his child battles lost and won
He is a good son

My son is a soldier today
Left the land of the free and home of the brave
Another generation on their way
To play in the big game.

(Chorus)
And the flags are waving out in the street
And they’re tying a ribbon round every tree
And they’re hanging their pictures for all to see
While we sing God Bless America

For the glory and freedom and power of man
We send our children like sacrificial lambs
While young sons hold tight to their mother’s hands
And try to understand

(Chorus)
And the flags are waving out in the street
And they’re tying a ribbon round every tree
And they’re hanging their pictures for all to see
While we sing God Bless America

From handprints on the window to footprints in the mud
To footprints in the sand, spattered with the same red blood
Of all the sons of all the mothers who gave up their good sons.

(Chorus)
And the flags are waving out in the street
And they’re tying a ribbon round every tree
And they’re hanging their pictures for all to see
While we sing God Bless America
