"I wrote this on August 13th, 2005," explains David Rovics. "Cindy Sheehan is currently at Bush's ranch, waiting to meet him. Google her name and you'll learn all about it, if you haven't heard. She spoke at the ‘Veterans for Peace’ convention in Dallas where I just played. Feel free to link to the online media or to use the MP3 for any purpose. Same goes for the other songs you find there, including many related songs ("Four Blank Slates," "Waiting for the Fall," "When Johnny Came Marching Home," many more). Thanks to William Rivers Pitt for his article in Truthout entitled ‘Every Mother's Son’."

Song for Cindy Sheehan (Excerpt)

Casey was a good boy
He treated people well
And his momma loved him
Anyone could tell
She'd send him off to school
Pack his lunch with care
When he came back home she hugged him
With her fingers in his hair
Cindy, she loved Casey
And when all is said and done
She is every mother
And he was every mother's son
