Turn to
the six o'clock news,
another soldier dies
Tried to hide it
but I couldn't help it,
I had to cry
When my little boy
asked me Daddy,
Was he your friend
And I said no,
I didn't even know him
But he was
somebody's someone,
a neighbor, a husband
A brother, a father,
and a mother's only son
He was an uncle, a cousin,
somebody's best friend
And I'm sure at times
a shoulder to lean on
Yeah, he was
somebody's
someone
So I sat there in that chair
and helped him understand
How this brave young man
gave his life for our land
And although
he's someone
we'll never know
To you and me
he is a hero
He was
somebody's someone,
a neighbor, a husband
A brother, a father,
and a mother's only son
He was an uncle, a cousin,
somebody's best friend
And I'm sure at times
a shoulder to lean on
He was
somebody's
someone
To the world he was
a total stranger
Who kept us safe
and out of danger
But now
he's just a picture
on TV
Somebody's memory
He was
somebody's someone,
a neighbor, a husband
A brother, a father,
and a mother's only son
He was an uncle, a cousin,
somebody's best friend
And I'm sure at times
a shoulder to lean on
He was
somebody's someone
Yeah, he was
somebody's
someone
