Some Mother Is Son - Carolyn Dawn Johnson

作词：Tommy Lee James/Maribeth Derry

作曲：Tommy Lee James/Maribeth Derry

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
