Heartbreak Ridge

My dear, dear mum, dear mother of mine
From Heartbreak Ridge I am dropping this line
Where we fight the Reds, try to win
Rid the world of hatred and sin
On Heartbreak Ridge we fight and fight
Where the enemy can not see the light
On Heartbreak Ridge I stand tonight
Nothing but wounded and dying in sight
Remember my buddy? He lived down the street
I saw him fall right at my feet
Please tell his mother as soon as you can
That her son died as an honorable man
Oh mama how I long to see you tonight
But I must stay here and go on with this fight
We’ve fought and we’ve fought, I’ve seen thousands fall
I’ve prayed to God that they heed freedom’s call
