Somebody's Someone

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" I said, "no, I didn't even know him" [Chorus] 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 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 [Chorus] 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 [Chorus] He was somebody's someone
