Some Mother's Son

She lays awake
 In a silent room
 Holding his picture
 Washed sliver by the moon
 Oceans away
 He feels her sigh
 So alone
 In the world tonight
 Freedom needs a soldier
 That nameless, faceless one
 A young girl's lover
 A baby's father
 Some mother's son
 Too young to know
 His daddy's gone
 He hears him say
 His mother must be strong
 So he pretends
 Like children do
 He likes to stand
 In his daddy's shoes
 Freedom needs a soldier
 A nameless, faceless one
 A young girl's lover
 A baby's father
 Some mother's son
 Freedom needs a soldier
 Until the battle's won
 A young girl's lover
 A baby's father
 Some mother's son
 She closes her eyes
 And sees him at three
 In her mind
 That's the age he'll always be
 And only God
 Understands her love
 Now she prays
 To the angels up above
 Freedom needs a soldier
 That nameless, faceless one
 A young girl's lover
 A baby's father
 Some mother's son
 Freedom needs a soldier
 Until the battle's won
 A young girl's lover
 A baby's father
 Some mother's son
