Testo Some Mother's Son

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
