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 battleAnd I almost turned the channel
Like I always seem to do
Then it hit me like a freight train coming throughThat's somebody's son
Somebody's husband
Somebody's everything
Out there someone's coming undoneIt made me wonder if anyone really wins
When every war has to be won
With somebody's sonI 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 imagineHow we would feel if something happened
And I didn't have him here with me
Then I cried for that dead boy and his familyHe's somebody's son
Somebody's husband
Somebody's everything
Out there someone's coming undoneIt made me wonder if anyone really wins
When every war has to be won
He's somebody's sonSomebody's son
Somebody's husband
Somebody's everything
Out there someone's coming undoneIt made me wonder if anyone really wins
When every war has to be won
With somebody's son
