Lyrics
Oh she knows
She takes his hand
And prays the child will understand
At the door they watch the men go by
In the clothes that daddy wore
Mothers pride
Baby boy
His father's eyes
He's a soldier waiting for war
Time will come
He'll hold a gun
His father's son
And as he grows
He hears the band
Takes the step from boy to man
And at the shore she waves her son goodbye
Like the man she did before
Mothers pride
Just a boy
His country's eyes
He's a soldier waving at the shore
And in her heart the time has come
To lose a son
And all the husbands, all the sons, all the lovers gone
They make no difference
No difference in the end
Still hear the woman say your daddy died a hero
In the name of god and man
Mothers pride
Crazy boy
His lifeless eyes
He's a soldier now forevermore
He'll hold a gun till kingdom come - เพลง
Many years ago while on the way to Desert Storm, I listened to this song and pictured his words. I could not stop crying. To this day, I still cry when I hear this song. It's such a sad and touching song.
@Some One terrible memory of the gulf War
I agree Leonard, Over 30 years ago I was floating on the Persian Gulf as a young Marine ready for orders to hit the Sadam Hussein electrified Beach front and all I could think of was listening to this song and the line " your father died a hero" except , I wasn't a father yet. I was just 20 years old with a lot of beautiful dreams ahead. I'm a lucky man. I lived after that to fulfill all my dreams. I hope you did too Leonard. God bless George Michael 🙏 ❤
@@soytico9356 I was in MSSG-11.
I bought this CD right before our ship left the Gulf for Japan to get refitted. I always did like this more than the song that ended up becoming an unofficial Gulf War anthem, "Praying for Time."
I was on the USS Iwo Jima hitching a ride to the gulf. It was on the ship's store where I bought this life changing cassette. Will never forget those times. As the saying goes, " there were the worst of times and they were the best of times. Hope everyone gets a chance to watch his documentary, "Freedom" on HBO, simply amazing and must watch TV if you're a fan of his.
Long live George Michael. Can't get enough of his music. Even in death, his music lives on.
Just like Bob Marley he is gaining more popularity posthumously as the years go by✅
Possibly the most heart wrenching song ever written. George Michael’s finest without any doubt but it gets little attention. Probably just too sophisticated and deep for the masses.
very true
.... definitely a standard .... peaked at no. 46 on the Billboard Hot 100; a real travesty that it didn't made the top 40
@@groofoot People fear the truth and like to divert, yes, too deep for most.
GM created many Masterpieces! A Master does that!❤
Listen Without Prejudice a timeless masterpiece.
Thank you Sir George Michael.
Love & Peace from Syria.
wishing peace for Syria ...
bassel abufadel α
@bassel abufadel yeah...he was...he is... This song man, this song it's just...
agreed
❤🇺🇸
This song is so powerful…..never listened with dry eyes ❤️ chills every time 🥲 miss you GM 🙏
This whole album is Gold
If anything to me this song is a eulogy to those who died needlessly in WW1 - the most senseless, most appalling, most destructive war (cause of WW2) in human history. This song is a masterpiece, George Michael’s finest, no contest.
Could be written with WW1 in mind by George. To me it's about all wars. Wars are senseless, destructive and appalling in general.
Agreed, beautiful
I'll agree with this ^
I'm crying because at this moment my mother is with me in front to me in the living room. I love her more than my own life.
How George sings this live never fails to grab me, such a phenomenal voice.
His voice has that uncanny ability to reach your soul.
An amazing talent very sadly missed.
I remember first hearing this song whilst my mother was dying from cancer, to this day it’s the only song that makes me cry. I don’t think there’s another singer who could sing this song like George, no one who could inject as much emotion and feeling into the vocals as much as he could. He was - and is - a legend who’s talent is sorely missed.
When I joined the Army during the first Gulf War in the early 90's, I listened to this song over and over before basic training. I listen to this song today, almost 30 years after I first listened to it. Brings back memories.
Me to3
After you slaughtered all those innocent children and women in iraq
George was right. All the rubbish will be gone. Only my songs will remain. His voice and song can never leave our hearts. Such a beautiful human being.
You won't find a greater song
Such a powerful song! So beautiful! So emotional! Singing like an angel, singing to the universe he was. His songs are actually prayers. 😢❤
Yes they are :'(
you are SOOO right,he was the greatest to touch our soul,an angel on earth,and almost no one noticed this way
I have nothing to add to this! Totally feel the same! What can I say? Sometimes I'm completely speechless when I hear his voice and there are instances, I must confess, when I hardly can keep my eyes dry, but if you are not touched by George's music you must have a heart of stone! He accompanied me in my life right from his breakthrough in the 80's and he will always be my hero!
so true!💙
Yes yes even after his death his music lives for ever 😢😢😢
george knew ,war solves nothing x
I cant stop crying, My son is a US Marine and this song just hit way to close to home. God Bless anyone who chooses to protect their County, Please Lord, keep them safe!
Ohhh, so pathetic! More than a sound of american airplanes flying above my head and dropping bombs. 6000 km away from USA! How many other mothers' sons did your sons kill worldwide? Will you ever cry for them?
Which him all the best
God Bless America from Australia. We love you!
George Michael …. Must have been an Angel ❤
We all have our battles wether its war,alcohol,drugs,love?
George portrays our feeling so sincerely,what an artist! Miss his work so much😢
On 16th January 1991 I was lucky enough to see GM's Cover to Cover concert at Birmingham, UK. The 2nd date of his tour.
As we travelled by coach (from Manchester) the country was on the brink of war in Iraq. During the concert as GM broke into this song the whole arena fell silent, people were actually in tears.
As we travelled home the coach driver announced over the tannoy that Allied Forces aircraft had started bombing and 'Desert Storm' was in progress.
The rest of the journey home was in eerie silence. All I could think about was this song we'd just heard sang live.
I still think of this night whenever I hear it.
Every time I listen, George remembers the last Christmas for George was my father's last, but he didn't know... 😭And he loved George a lot.
He is such an amazing songwriter. This song makes me want to cry. His voice is so beautiful but he is underrated and I hate it so much. George Michael was the first artist I heard that made me realize something was wrong with what was on the radio today. He inspired me to explore music's past to find enjoyment in what I was listening to. I don't like modern music, some songs are okay but they'll never compare to older music and that bothers me. I have determination to change that one day. Thank you George for bringing happiness to me, and many others, through your music. I love you.
This song almost always makes me cry. Agree with him being very underrated.
He is not underrated. He is very popular in European. He didn’t want to be famous but he is still topping the chart. He is one of the biggest artist in 1980s
What can you say to the statement you are class hun he was the best
George Michael
Georgeous angel music:)
I feel like someone is squeezing my heart.
Vivavima Claudio Vega. mine to honest Claudio.
My heart just aches!💔
Praying for Time & Mother's Pride are LWP Diamonds !!!!
Rest in peace Georges you are the beautiful voice in the world and my heart. I miss you.
No male vocalist captures the emotion in a melody or lyric like GM did. Name me one....it is difficult to think of anyone......for me he was the shining star.
freddy mercury , need more?
@CleoKawisha-sy5xt he was a caricature. not near as deep, raw and honest as george was
How on earth could a human write such a song?! Seriously😭
I think it's a great song.
This song gets me so emotional,the vocals are phenomenal and the lyrics are deep
One of his top 3 songs vocally. No doubt!
This has always been one of my favourite songs on LWP, in fact I'd like to make it clear that every song on LWP is a masterpiece. Every. Song. On. The. Album.
Your not wrong,its a stunning album,a timeless masterpiece
Gorgeous haunting tune x
Sends a shiver down my spine
Recorded -a year after I
Lost my dad aged 42
I was 15 years old
I took it with me in Europe in May 1992 when I was 16 during the Siege of Sarajevo and I am 26% Balkan.
For sure my friend....
Totally agree, this song is just out of this world, in fact every song he’s ever written is superb and I will love him his voice his lyrics forever as I always have,🩷
Erm, George Michael was NEVER underrated! The world knew how incredible he was.
This brilliant Song mothers pride should have been released for a Charity single this time of year for Remembrance Day rip George
he was truly touched by God his voice is truly remarkable. probably the greatest male voice of the twentieth century.
Absolutely💔📷📀🎶🎼🔊👤💋💓🎤😁🎧😇💻 No doubt!XXX 2019!
The world is at the brink of war again.we never learn.bless you George
I lost my dad 40 days ago .....this song brings tears to my eyes . I hope George is keeping him company 😔
I'm so sad for you rest in peace lmao always praying for you 😟😯😞😣
Rest in peace. 😢🙏🏻
first heard this from my english teacher during my a-levels and it’s a song that will never leave me 🤍
George Michael is one of the best songwriter of all time I was lucky enough to meet him in person and I got to see him in concert in Madison Square Garden in New York. George Michael is an amazing singer so sad when he passed away but his music will live forever in my heart. This song is amazing!!!!
In this song George have the voice power and flexibility like Freddie Mercury. Its just a vocal masterpiece. RIP boys.
È vero, però George é il massimo è ancora di più. I prefer George Michael, Freddie is good but George is one and only, the magic and genius person. GEORGE É DIVINO.
Antinella Solari they both are ngl
Everyone here remembering their time at desert storm... I was a refugee during desert storm...I was 11.
Saw it all first-hand from both sides... I still suffer with PTSD from it.... But in silence.
Never do that,ref suffer in silence,find others like you,then you can help each other.
Sorry for the belated reply, I hope you get to see it.
Голос просто волшебный ,Великолепный Джордж !Гениальный музыкант и певец с чудесным голосом и доброй душой !Обожаю его великого артиста !Помним и любим Джорджа , светлая память замечательному человеку !!!
Не могу с тобой согласиться, мой русскоязычный друг. Музыки, мира и любви всем нам. Love and peace!
@@KennethWhyte А в чем не можете согласится ,в том ,что он гениальный певец и музыкант ,композитор !И добрейший человек ,замечательный артист !? Он тоже хотел мира и любви !
One of the best if not the best singer/songwriters of our generation.
You're with the angels now
Your music will live forever I'll miss you so much but I'll never forget you Xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Best George Michael song for sure.
Oh my God, what a superb performance. Flawless piece of art, never heard before. George, you are the best. Please listen without prejudice. Sadiq from Karachi, Pakistan.
agreed
I am from Karachi too. The album is an under rated masterpiece
@@ammarhasan3933 Because he is an oldtimer and times have changed. Sad but true.
Much love.
masterpiece. as all your songs are. i was a dance student in 1993 an i had to perform a contemporary dance solo .. i chose this song. an then i performed the same piece to get me a place university. i got my place at uni. thank you for the music.
I cannot believe despite being a George Michael fan I had never heard this song until today. I think it is the most beautiful song I have ever heard.
The Whole Album is Superior
My 22yo son, US ARMY soldier, is now deployed. My God I'm so proud of him. But, my heart is crushed with the weight of missing him. He's a soldier, but in my eyes, He's just a boy to me.
Absolutely man missed terribly for his views more preferable today george would had a massive impact god rest ur soul george 🙏
Another song that makes me choke up. Wish we could have him back! What a blessing to have had him for the time we did though!
I completely agree. Wish we could have him back.
I swear when I finally recover from one of his songs I find another one make me cry my eyes out he will be forever missed 💔
Gets you from the opening words and chord change. The voice of wisdom, despair, innocence and terrible experience.
May George michael rest in peace his music live on forever
I can’t listen to you without crying 🙌🏻🙏🏼you are forever loved 🙏🏼🙌🏻
Sadness in our hearts, we miss You, George Michael.(r.i.p.)
Me too 😢
Most of his songs were nostalgic, sad, reflecting his true struggles in life.
....that we can relate to which is why he was magnificent! !!!!😇💻🎧😁🎤💓💋👤🔊🎼🎶📀📷💔😢📼❤
My goodness the strongest lyrics ever put to music. ‘It made no difference in the end’ as I write this in August 2021 the Taliban are retaking everything in Afghanistan. All the allied lives lost in the last decade and a half were for NOTHING!!!!
Masterpiece...my angel was a musical genius ❤❤ George had suts a beautiful soul.. only than you can wright these kind of song's...in all his music lays his emotion and passion.. really no song of him i don't like..this album is a masterpiece..lot of people forget George was so young when he wrote these song's..he was 27 when he released this album.. forever missed my angel..the world is suts a lonier place without you ❤💔🙏

He went far far too soon. Makes me break when I listen to his stunning voice. Such a talent

what a beautiful song and voice
RIP george
i miss you
Oh she knows
She takes his hand
And prays the child will understand
At the door they watch the men go by
In the clothes that daddy wore
Mother's pride
Baby Boy

Time will come
He'll hold a gun
His father's son
And as he grows
He hears the band
Takes the step from boy to man
And at the shore she waves her son goodbye
Like the man she did before
Mother's pride
Just a boy
His country's eyes
He's a soldier waving at the shore
And in her heart the time has come
To lose a son

A MASTERPIECE ! NOTHING MORE TO SAY ❤️
Words are incorrect
Thanks
My son was in the military at the time this song came out. I broke down, sobbing everything I listened to it. Beautiful and heartwrenching. 😭😭😭
My father, now 96 and very well alive, lost his mother when he was only 14. I always think of this song what they both must have felt, saying goodbye to each other.
the first time i cried listening to a song
Haunting. Powerful.
Natuurlijk weet ik aan wie wij onze vrijheid te danken hebben. Je staat er niet dagelijks bij stil. Muziek zet je dan even op je plek. Wat een prachtig liedje.
This man was truly blessed with a voice from the Lord - this performance is just so powerful and profound....our earth misses this man......
This song shows the greatness of George Michael. 🪖🎖 🌄👼
the man was a one off , genius
Life will never ever EVER be the same now.
We've lost a music maker, a genius, a gentlemen and a friend who was there with his music when we needed that shoulder.....
Can't believe you're gone George. You're the best artist ever. X
Rest in perfect peace. ❤️
MsHogie75 all the love is gone now his gon and his style. Amazing man truly amazing.
I'll always think of the 1st Gulf War when Desert Shield turned to Desert Storm and one of my buddies, only 20 years old, was fighting. A beautiful yet haunting song.
Just beautiful.
An amazing song, the voice of an angel x
Beautiful song. The whole album is masterpiece ❤still miss George so much❤❤...
Beautiful songwriting. One of the highlights on this underappreciated album.
Canzone struggente, cantata divinamente dal più grande in assoluto. Ci sono punti in cui la sua voce ha similitudini con quella di Mercury, però la differenza si nota, la voce di George ha dentro l'anima ed è limpida e assolutamente vibrante. Lui è davvero MAGICO.
Symbolic archetype of the mother. The mother-child relationship, so different and so common. A man's cry, in which a fragile, modest, talented boy-child is revealed. 😮
The Universe led him and guided him to another sphere. For me , no one can resonate and touch my soul as George Michael does. No one. A beautiful soul who cared , authentic and spades of integrity. He loved and and he cared sincerely.
You remain loved and respected George. We are all flawed and not perfect, but you were perfect to me as a human being. We saw both sides , dark and light , that's why I still respect and love you ad a human being.
X😇
Oh men, you are my favorite singer. Thanks for the Good memories and your beautiful music since Wham
Love you Man, Rest in Peace.
This song is gorgeous
his voice is like a ray built of smallest fragment of a rare diamond , it reachs ur soul wihtout prejudice .
Such an underated song.
Quelle merveille! incroyable! la plus belle voix de la pop à mon avis, la plus sensuelle aussi. Et puis quelle technique! il est parti trop tôt hélas!
Shame this song doesn't appear on radio 2s shortlist for the ultimate george michael song. Sometimes the more well known songs aren't in the same class
This song touched my heart and soul.
I saw George only once at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert. And like our hero Freddie at Live Aid he showed the words best who really was the greatest. RIP.
非常非常有才華的音樂家!!(他的嗓音和才華是上天的禮物!!)
Cette musique est magnifiquement belle et terriblement triste. Ce piano! Les paroles! La magnifique voix de George Michael. Elle me fait pleurer.
this one really made me cry. such a beautiful man and voice
I'm crying still.amazing song
Me too
My son just joined the Marine Corps. I just can not : (******
This song is so beautiful to cry
Words cannot describe how amazing your voice is. So sorry that you're gone. You'll be sorely missed.
One of my favourite songs. A wonderful singer-songwriter has gone.... RIP George Michael.
SIMPLY THE MOST GORGEOUS tribute to the military FAMILIES that I've ever heard.
GOD has a new angel.
Oh yes!!!!😇😇😇
Forever George Michael !!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Absolute hidden gem masterpiece
How exquisite this man. How propheticetic...like the beautiful fragrant rose that he was....with petals falling....he will forever be remembered as a moving soul for those who adored him and his immense talent. Rest in Peace.
what a voice
When I will die please play this song beside my body.....
I listen to it almost religiously everyday
What a beautiful man. Stil trying to work out club Tropicana love it. Wham bang xx Rest in peace my beloved man x
Legend ❤️
3:06 This part... can't forget about it even after all these years
A masterpiece of George. This heavenly voice which is pure perfection goes straight to God. This performance is incredibly stratospheric. Nobody like you. Honor to GEORGE MICHAEL FOREVER AND EVER.
I remember listening to this song while we watched the first Gulf War on television...so powerful....
they played it on tv or your personal pvt. sound system?
I am a father of three sons - hence my wife is their mother
and this makes us thank god they never had to go to war. RIP George, you are still sorely missed
so do I,for me, that was ' praying for time" that remind me of the first gulf war, when saddam hussein invaded kuweit
My partner is in the Army...Afghan, Iraq, Rwanda....I get it!😢😢😢😢
I too remember listening to this on Radio 1. Simon Bates played it in the morning as the Gulf War started. Emotional lyrics.
Criminally underrated
yet another timeless song that shows his true genius
George Michael...........a beautiful soul...........an extremely sensitive guy, who seemed to be troubled by Fame and attention, in his latter years. When he was in Wham ( with his school friend Andrew) the lyrics were very up beat and happy. As he progressed as a solo artist, his songs portray, so much hurt and pain ( listen to Older album) Of course, he had to fly the nest and show the world he was a song writing genius.............Great for us fans on the OUTSIDE.............not so good, for George fighting those inner troubles. His music, will Live on Forever. R.I.P George.
The best.
