Lyrics:
IV. The Soldier's Soldier
You are the mother, the soldier's soldier
In this sisterhood you do not rest
Even when you sleep you only have one dream,
that he is safe at home again
You are the mother,
You are a soldier in your soul
Vigilance is what you learn to know.
Even when you sleep you dream a clock
counting the seconds until he's home again
When he's home again
Home again
Who will he be,
Who will he be when he's home again
Home again
