Someone's Son

Somewhere on a battlefield A man lays hurt and dying While a million miles away A mother is somewhere crying Just one more day in hell Where someone gave his life His children, without a father A widow for his wife Asked to serve his country In a far and distant land Giving all he had to give Then, dying in the sand Hero's are born and never made Just doing what is right And in his darkest hour His fear becomes his light To some he's just a number Not knowing the things he's done But to me he's much more than that To me he's someone's son
