Some Mother's Son Lyrics

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

Carolyn Dawn Johnson (born April 30, 1971 in Grande Prairie, Alberta, Canada) is a Canadian Juno Award winning country music singer-songwriter. Johnson's first rose to fame by co-writing Chely Wright's 1999 Number One single, "Single White Female", which reached number one on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart in September 1999. In 2000, Johnson signed with Arista Nashville and, in 2001, released her debut album, Room with a View.

The album's first two singles ("Georgia" and "Complicated") were both Number One hits on the Canadian country music charts, and the latter was a Top Ten hit on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) charts. Although her next single ("I Don't Want You to Go") was also a Top Ten in the U.S., her chart success there would wane not long afterward, though she has had continued success in her native Canada.
