She lays awake
In a silent room
Holding his picture
Washed silver 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.
