Carolyn Dawn Johnson Some Mother`s Son Lyrics

Some Mother`s Son Lyrics

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
