Saskia & Serge - Mama He's A Soldier Now lyrics

Your rating:

Hidden in the warmth from your arms
You were always there when he cried
And you always held him too tight
But you did it with your heart

Mama, he's older now

Growing up without any fear
Both of you never broke apart
But now he's breaking your heart
When he walks out of the door

Mama's, he's a soldier now

For the first time he's free
And he's happy while he's joining the army
He's still your son
Night and day you've rocked your baby

And you wanna keep him (And you wanna keep him)
But you wanna keep the past (Y2ou wanna keep him home)
Don't you see he's a man?
And he's a soldier now

You're still dreaming of the child
Little boys keep growing
You got to break the chain
You know it but you just won't see it

No, oh no!
You just won't see it

Now he fights for freedom in a land
In a country oh, so far away
And all you can do is sit and wait
For a letter or a sign

Mama, he's a soldier now

For the first time he's free
And he's happy while he's joining the army
He's still your son
Night and day you've rocked your baby

And you wanna give in (And you wanna give in)
But you wanna keep the past you want
Don't you see he's a man?
And he's a soldier now

You used to treat him like a child
Little boys keep growing
You'll have to break the chain
You know it but you just won't see it

You used to treat him like a child
Little boys keep growing
You'll have to break the chain
You know it but you just won't see it

You used to treat him like a child
Little boys keep growing
You'll have to break the chain
You know it but you just won't see it

You used to treat him like a child

Hidden in the warmth of your arms
You were always there when he cried
And you always held him too tight
But you did it with your heart

Mama, he's older now

Growing up without any fear
Both of you never broke apart
But now he's breaking your heart
When he walks out of the door

Mama's, he's a soldier now

For the first time he's free
And he's happy while he's joining the army
He's still your son
Night and day you've rocked your baby

And you wanna keep him (But you wanna keep him)
But you wanna keep the past (You wanna keep him home)
Don't you see he's a man?
And he's a soldier now

You're still dreaming of the child
Little boys keep growing
You have to break the chain
You know it but you just won't see it

No, oh no!

But you wanna keep the past (You wanna keep him home)
Don't you see he's a man?
And he's a soldier now

You used to treat him like a child
Little boys keep growing
You have to break the chain
You know it but you just won't see it

You used to treat him like a child
Little boys keep growing
You'll have to break the chain
You know it but you just won't see it

You used to treat him like a child
Little boys keep growing
You have to break the chain
You know it but you just won't see it

You used to treat him like a child
