Oh she knows
She takes his hand
And prays the child will understand
At the door they watch the men go by
In the clothes that daddy wore
Mothers pride
Baby boy
His father’s eyes
He’s a soldier waiting for war
Time will come
He’ll hold a gun
His father’s son

And as he grows
He hears the band
Takes the step from boy to man
And at the shore she waves her son goodbye
Like the man she did before

Mothers pride
Just a boy
His country’s eyes
He’s a soldier waving at the shore
And in her heart the time has come
To lose a son

And all the husbands, all the sons, all the lovers gone
They make no difference
No difference in the end
Still hear the woman say your daddy died a hero
In the name of god and man

Mothers pride
Crazy boy
His lifeless eyes
He’s a soldier now forevermore
He’ll hold a gun till kingdom come

Here he comes – mother’s pride
With the first ever satchel she bought him swinging by his side
Here he comes mother’s pride
With a headful of ‘get your laces tied’ and ‘woe betide’

With a year’s supply of sandwiches and fairy cakes
That she provides for him to eat at dinner breaks
It’s no surprise at all, at ad the friends he makes
His stomach aches
He’s mother’s pride

He’s presentable, well looked after
He’s domestically disastrous
He’s adorable – mother’s pride

Here he comes – father’s pride
With a head filled up with devil dogs and genocide
Here he comes – father’s pride
He’s showing all the kids his tickets for ringside

He’ll always roam the yard looking for a fight
He’ll pick on all the kids who’re twice his height
He’s the reason dinner ladies toss and turn at night
Teacher’s blight – father’s pride

He’s the image of his dad
Mickey mouse meets jack the lad
He’s never sad – father’s pride

Here he comes mother’s pride
Here he comes father’s pride
Here he comes mother’s pride
Father’s pride
His mother’s pride
