Somewhere In Baghdad

She looks up at the stars with wonder tonight
So thankful at last that they're free
A child in each arm she holds them tight
And dreams about the future she thought they'd never see

[Chorus]
Somewhere in Baghdad
Her tears are falling but she isn't sad
Because her children will live a life that she never had
Somewhere in Baghdad

She can't believe the changes that she's seen
She's got a new job, a tv and a kitchen full of food
She'll be making lunches while the kids both sleep
'cause tomorrow's the first day at their new school

[Chorus]

And her husband's been missing
Since two-thousand and one
Cause he spoke out against somethin' Saddam Hussein had done
It's just been her and the kids
Barely getting by
Just when she thought all hope was gone
Help arrived

[Chorus]
