I was watching the news tonight
Anchor man said there was a fight
And a young man died from his wounds

They showed pictures of the battle
And I almost turned the channel
Like I always seem to do

Then it hit me like a freight train coming through (that's)
Somebody's son
Somebody's husband
Somebody's everything

Out there
Someone's coming undone
It made me wonder if anyone really wins
When every war has to be won with
Somebody's son

I walked down the hall to check
On my youngest lying in bed
And I stood there watching him dream

I tried but I couldn't imagine
How it would feel if something happened
And I didn't have him here with me

Then I cried for that dead boy and his family (cause he's)
Somebody's son
Somebody's husband
Somebody's everything

Out there
Someone's coming undone
It made me wonder if anyone really wins
When every war has to be won with
Somebody's son
