Somebody's Son

I was watching the news tonight

Anchorman said there was a fight

And a young man died from his wounds

They showed pictures of the battle

And I almost turned the channel

Like I always seem to do

Then it hit me like a freight train coming through

That’s somebody’s son,

Somebody’s husband,

Somebody’s everything,

Out there someone’s coming undone

It made me wonder if anyone really wins

When every war has to be won

With somebody’s son

I walked down the hall to check

On my youngest lying in bed

And I stood there watching him dream

I tried but I couldn’t imagine how we would feel if something happened

And I didn’t have him here with me

Then I cried for that dead boy and his family

He’s somebody’s son,

Somebody’s husband,

Somebody’s everything,

Out there someone’s coming undone.

It made me wonder if anyone really wins

When every war has to be won

He’s somebody’s son

Somebody’s son,

Somebody’s husband,

Somebody’s everything.

Out there someone’s coming undone.

It made me wonder if anyone really wins

When every war has to be won

With somebody's son
