(Richie McDonald)

Turn to the six o clock newsanother soldier dies
Tried to hide it but I couldn t help itI had to cry
When my little boy asked me daddy was he your friend
I said noI didn t even know him

But he was somebody s someonea neighbora husband
A brothera fatherand a mother s only son
He was an unclea cousinsomebody 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

He was somebody s someonea neighbora husband
A brothera fatherand a mother s only son
He was an unclea cousinsomebody 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 someonea neighbora husband
A brothera fatherand a mother s only son
He was an unclea cousinsomebody s best friend
And I m sure at times a shoulder to lean on
He was somebody s someone
He was somebody s someone
