lyrics

I didn't raise my boy to be a soldier,
I brought him up to be my pride and joy,
Who dares to put a rifle on his shoulder
To shoot some other mother's darling boy?
It's time to lay the sword and gun away.
Enough with horror!
Enough with atrocity!
Talk! Talk! Enough with war!
There'd be no war today
If mothers all would say:
I didn't raise my boy to be a soldier!
