Carolyn Dawn Johnson Some Mother's Son Lyrics

She lays awake in a silent room
Holding his picture washed silver by the moon
Oceans away, he feels her sigh
So alone in the world tonight
Freedoms needs a soldier, the nameless faceless one
A young girl's lover, a baby's father, some mother's son
To young to know his daddy's gone
He hears him say she must be strong
So he pretends, like children do
He likes to stand in his daddy's shoes
Freedom needs a soldier, the nameless faceless one
A young girl's lover, a baby's father, some mother's son
Yeah freedom needs a soldier untill 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 understand her love
And now she prays to the angels up above
Freedom needs a soldier, the nameless faceless one
A young girl's lover, a baby's father, some mother 's son
Freedom needs a soldier, untill the battle's won
A young girl's lover, a baby's father, some mother's son
