[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](music)
[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]
