" The Last Goodbye " - ('Bye John)

"Hello" soldier ... "No son, you don't know my name."

I just wanted to say ... "THANK YOU"... and,

"Welcome Home"... from where you've been.

I just met your lovely wife ... and, John

You have a real nice ... family.

Your friends are telling stories

But, I'm sure ... you've been listening.

Men like you are special, John

A cut above ... the rest.

A HERO ... in ALL our eyes,

You go on home now, son ... get some rest.

(Chorus - Prayer)

Not another soldier, Lord ... Please God,

Not another one.

Not another mother, father, sister, brother

Please God, not another ... mother's son.

Not another soldier, Lord ... Please God,

Not another one.

Let this be ... " The Last Goodbye "

Please, Lord ... not another mother's son.

'Bye John.
