the say it is the war to end all wars,  
Mom  
do you believe it

I crawl the trenches on all fours,  
Mom  
I hope to see it

I’m cold and hungry all the time,  
Mom  
I got your letter

My eyes are red from all the grime,  
Mom  
Hope it gets better

The Germans sing songs in their trench,  
Mom  
When there’s no cannon

In France but no time to learn French,  
Mom  
How’s Frank and Shannon

I love you Mom, no, it’s not tears,  
Mom  
It will end, surely

I dreamt of the parade, and cheers,  
Mom  
It will end, surely

I Love You
