I Am a Believer

As she said, good-by to her baby,
the tears were filling her eyes,
he was leaving the arms of his mother,
to a place, where so many have died.
 
He just stood there, looking at his mother,
trying hard to be strong, and brave,

I am a soldier, who is willing to fight,
the time has come now, 
mother, everything will be all right.

I am a believer, and I know how much I mean to you,
but mother,  there are some things,
that a man, just has to do.

I've learned so much about life, and now I'm ready,
to face the battle that is waiting for me.

I am a believer, and I have been for many years,
so now mother, you can dry those sad tears.

I am a soldier, and I have a job to do,
but please mother, remember, I will always love you.

Now dry your eyes, and I'll be home, before you know it,

I am a believer, and I have been for many years,
I'm waiting mother, so please dry, your sad, sad tears.
