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 see you 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 

That's somebody's son 



I walked the hall to check 

On my youngest lying in bed 

And I stood there watching him dream 

I tried but I couldn't imagine 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 wind 

When every war has to be won 

Somebody's son
