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
