Knocking around my brain...

Somebody's Someone...

Get out of bed, start your day
Turn the news on on your way
Hear them talking about another bombing in the square
killed hundreds of the people that were gathered there
you think to yourself your glad that it happened far away

Their just names and places
people without faces
Bad things happening all around the world
To you and me they could be anyone...anywhere
But to somewhere out there... somebody lost their someone

Middle of the day, grab a coffee break
read the paper, try to get away
On the front page is the picture of another woman who has gone missing
Haven't seen her in a week, chances are getting slim
Her husband cries as they point their fingers at him

Their just names and places
people without faces
Bad things happening all around the world
To you and me they could be anyone...anywhere
But to somewhere out there... somebody lost their someone

Five o'clock comes, it's the end of the day
Hit the interstate, it's the quickest way
You never see the truck as it starts to swerve
When the ambulance comes your car is upside down on a curb
The police man looks for some id

Their just names and places
people without faces
Bad things happening all around the world
To you and me they could be anyone...anywhere
But to somewhere out there... somebody lost their someone
Your family just lost their someone.
