At one o’clock
I heard the call
On the line was my son Paul
He said “Ma, I’ve got to go.”
Inside my heart was screaming no!
*He heard the call
To stand a fight
For what he thought was right
So the rest of us could live free
A soldier’s what he had to be*
At four o’clock
Alarms rang out
“Put on your gear” the captain shouts
He said “Come, we’ve got to go.”
Inside his heart was screaming no!
*Refrain
At eight o’clock
He heard no sound
My son Paul was on the ground
The captain said, we’ve got to go.”
Inside his heart was screaming no!
*Refrain
At twelve o’clock
I heard the call
I picked it up and let it fall
I said “Paul why did you have to go.”
Inside my heart was screaming no!
*Refrain
A soldier’s what he had to be
