Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
On a sunny April morning
My dear son, you were born
Until one day you were called away
And from my heart was torn
[Verse 2]
As a boy, you knew the stables
As a lad, you knew the fields
My son, you worked beside me
But to country you must yield
[Chorus]
You were called to serve the country
You were called to serve the King
And from our home, you left one day
And of this, today, I sing
[Verse 3]
When I stood there at the station
And our eyes one last time met
It was that - that moment, my dear son
'Tis that I'll ne'er forget
[Verse 4]
Is it now, a mother's blessing
But the country's truly free
You gave your life for all of us
And all humanity.
On a sunny April morning
My dear son, you were born
Until one day you were called away
And from my heart was torn
[Verse 2]
As a boy, you knew the stables
As a lad, you knew the fields
My son, you worked beside me
But to country you must yield
[Chorus]
You were called to serve the country
You were called to serve the King
And from our home, you left one day
And of this, today, I sing
[Verse 3]
When I stood there at the station
And our eyes one last time met

'Tis that I'll ne'er forget

Is it now, a mother's blessing
But the country's truly free
You gave your life for all of us
And all humanity.
[Verse 5]
As I stand here at your graveside
The spring birds sing their song
My child, I love you more and more
And will, my whole life long
[Chorus]
You were called to serve our country
You were called to serve the King
And from our home, you left one day
And of this, today, we sing
As I stand here at your graveside
The spring birds sing their song
My child, I love you more and more
And will, my whole life long
[Chorus]
You were called to serve our country
You were called to serve the King
And from our home, you left one day
And of this, today, we sing
