Northern Soul

Mama is your boy home I used to see him here
 No my son is gone away you won't find him near
 Is he over there then fightin' in that war
 No my son has left that place we'll see him never more
 War
 And now this war has taken away our son
 Has taken away our son
 What ever happened to love sweet love
 What ever happened to
 Love your brother love your sister one another
 in the darkest hour
 Mama what was he fightin for did he really understand
 No my son just went along he was told to by the man
 Mama he was my son too I feel for him I can
 Northern soul is what he had and I'd rather have him back
 War
 And now this war has taken away our son
 Has taken away our son
 What ever happened to love sweet love
 What ever happened to
 Love your brother love your sister one another
 in the darkest hour
 He's a bird that flies in your yard
 And he won't be back again so put him in your heart
 Cause you made him with your love and he flies above
 And we both know he was better than this war
 Mama is your daughter home or has she to run her time
 No my girl has gone downtown carrying a sign
 Hurray for the peace parade and the lovers of free will
 Free to surrender the need to kill or be killed
