How?

Father
Told us of glories gone
Brother
You were my father’s son
Father
You said God was on our side
So if he was
Why in the name of God
Was my brother sacrificed?

Tell me how the cause was won
Boys to men we march along
A hero’s still a mother’s son
Tell me how the cause was won

Mama
A son’s the price you paid
Sister
Who will wipe your tears away
Mama
Will you take this to your grave?
And did your heart burst?
Your son placed in the dirt
Will we ever be the same again?
