MOTHERS IN ARMS

Music and Lyrics by Brian Keeler
Lyrics by Mark Phialas

Nightmare confusion
No hope of relief
Dark, common threads
Of each mother’s grief

Please give it a name
Better yet, a face
Stuck between Iraq
And a hard (hard) place

Their sons were killed
Before anyone knew
The cause was, in fact,
Denial of truth

And for those who died
There’s no saving grace
They are stuck between Iraq
And a hard (hard) place

Mothers in arms, Lila and Sue,
Shared their grief in public view
Sue was arrested for shouting out;
Lila planted seeds of “911” doubt
Mothers in arms, what would you do?
If you were Lila; Sue was you

Loss so relative
Goes far beyond pain
At such a cost for
Absolutely no gain

And for all of those who will be
wandering in this space
They will be stuck between Iraq
And a hard (hard) place

Mothers in arms, what would you do?
If you were Lila; Sue was you
Mothers in arms, what would you do?
Perhaps you would share their point of view
Mothers in arms, what would you do?
What if this fate happened to you?
