| [00:20.07] | The boy only wanted to give Mother something |
| [00:25.03] | And all of her roses had bloomed |
| [00:30.07] | Looking at her as he came rushing in with them |
| [00:35.44] | Knowing her roses were doomed |
| [00:39.81] | All she could see were some thorns buried deep |
| [00:44.87] | And the tears that he cried as she tended his wounds |
| [00:49.58] | And she knew it was love |
| [00:54.50] | It was one she could understand |
| [03:34.82][03:19.79][01:49.84][00:59.82] | He was showing his love |
| [03:37.61][03:22.34][01:52.69][01:02.97] | And that's how he hurt his hands |
| [01:10.54] | He still remembers that night as child |
| [01:14.94] | On his mother's knee |
| [01:20.27] | She held him close and she opened her bible |
| [01:25.16] | And quietly started to read |
| [01:29.81] | And seeing a picture of Jesus he cried out |
| [01:35.15] | "Momma, he's got some scars just like me." |
| [01:39.71] | And he knew it was love |
| [01:44.79] | It was one he could understand |
| [01:58.95] | |
| [02:40.15] | Now the boy's grown and moved out on his own |
| [02:45.45] | When Uncle Sam comes along |
| [02:50.22] | A foreign affair, but our young men were there |
| [02:54.70] | And luck had his number drawn |
| [02:59.84] | It wasn't that long till our hero was gone |
| [03:04.90] | He gave to a friend what he learned from the cross |
| [03:09.83] | But they knew it was love |
| [03:29.98][03:14.77] | It was one they could understand |
| [03:27.56] |
