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 *With* 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.
