We Were Soldiers movie - Some Mother's Son lyrics

rate me

Song by Carolyn Dawn Johnson<br /><br>

She lays awake in a silent room<br>

Holding his picture washed silver by the moon<br>

Oceans away, he feels her sigh<br>

So alone in the world tonight<br>

Freedoms needs a soldier, the nameless faceless one<br>

A young girl's lover, a baby's father, some mother's son<br>

To young to know his daddy's gone <br>

He hears him say she must be strong<br>

So he pretends, like children do<br>

He likes to stand in his daddy's shoes<br>

Freedom needs a soldier, the nameless faceless one<br>

A young girl's lover, a baby's father, some mother's son<br>

Yeah freedom needs a soldier untill the battle's won<br>

A young girl's lover, a baby's father, some mother's son<br>

She closes her eyes and sees him at three<br>

In her mind that's the age he'll always be<br>

And only God understand her love<br>

And now she prays to the angels up above<br>

Freedom needs a soldier, the nameless faceless one<br>

A young girl's lover, a baby's father, some mother 's son<br>

Freedom needs a soldier, untill the battle's won<br>

A young girl's lover, a baby's father, some mother's son<br>

<br>
