[00:00:15] The first time it was fathers

[00:00:19] The last time it was sons

[00:00:23] And in between your husbands marched away with drums and guns

[00:00:30] And you never thought to question

[00:00:33] You just went on with your lives

[00:00:38] 'Cause all they taught you who to be was mothers daughters wives

[00:00:48] You believed them

[00:00:52] You can only just remember the tears your mothers shed

[00:01:00] As they sat and read their papers through the lists and lists of dead

[00:01:07] And the gold frames held the photographs that your mothers kissed each night

[00:01:15] And the door frames held the shocked and silent strangers from the fight

[00:01:26] And you received them

[00:01:30] It was twenty one years later with children of your own

[00:01:38] The trumpets sounded once again and the soldier boys were gone

[00:01:45] And you drove their trucks and made their guns and tended to their wounds

[00:01:52] And at night you kissed their photographs and prayed for safe returns

[00:02:01] And after it was over you had to learn again

[00:02:08] To be just wives and mothers when you'd done the work of men

[00:02:15] So you worked to help the needy and you never trod on toes

[00:02:22] And the photos on the pianos struck a happy family pose

[00:02:33] So deceiving

[00:02:56] Then your daughters grew to women and your little boys to men

[00:03:04] And you prayed that you were dreaming when the call came up again

[00:03:11] But you proudly smiled and held your tears as they bravely waved goodbye

[00:03:19] And the photos on the mantel pieces always made you cry

[00:03:27] And now you're getting older and in time the photos fade

[00:03:34] And in widowhood you sit back

[00:03:37] You reflect on the parade

[00:03:41] In the passing of your memories as your daughters change their lives

[00:03:49] Seeing more to our existence than just mothers daughters wives

[00:03:59] The first time it was fathers

[00:04:02] The last time it was sons

[00:04:06] And in between your husbands marched away with drums and guns

[00:04:13] And you never thought to question

[00:04:16] You just went on with your lives

[00:04:21] 'Cause all they taught you who to be was mothers daughters wives

[00:04:33] You believed them

[00:04:41] You believed them

[00:04:48] You believed them
