america, here's my boy - beck lyrics
he came into this world, helpless and unformed
i held him in my arms as he lay newly born
i said i would protect him and soothed him with my voice
america, here’s my boy
i taught him to say words and stand up on his feet
i held his tiny hand as we crossed the street
i told him that his days should be sown with joy
america, here’s my boy
we watched them play soldiers out on the schoolyard
pretending that the enemy was nothing like we are
with glory for the hero whose weapon is just a toy
america, here’s my boy
they said there were sacrifices greater than the need
the strength beyond blood that no mortal hand can bleed
the letter i received, i held it in my hand
and though the words were clear, i could not understand
how the memory lives beyond what can destroy
america, where’s my boy?
