Song language: English
America, Here’s My Boy |
| He came into this world, helpless and unformed |
| I held him in my arms as he lay newly born |
| I said I would protect him and soothed him with my voice |
| America, here’s my boy |
| I taught him to say words and stand up on his feet |
| I held his tiny hand as we crossed the street |
| I told him that his days should be sown with joy |
| America, here’s my boy |
| We watched them play soldiers out on the schoolyard |
| Pretending that the enemy was nothing like we are |
| With glory for the hero whose weapon is just a toy |
| America, here’s my boy |
| They said there were sacrifices greater than the need |
| The strength beyond blood that no mortal hand can bleed |
| The letter I received, I held it in my hand |
| And though the words were clear, I could not understand |
| How the memory lives beyond what can destroy |
| America, where’s my boy? |
