Be Somebody
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I can tell by lookin' in your eyes
There is something on your mind
Restless so long
It's time to let you go
There's a dream out there
I know you got to find
So, if you take the love that I will give to you
Then I won't feel like I'm losin' you
I want you to be somebody, be somebody, be somebody
I know you can be somebody
Be somebody strong
To me, you'll always be somebody, be somebody, be somebody
You'll never do wrong
Never do wrong
Always be strong, strong, oh
Be strong, yeah
People change
It happens all the time
Still, it hurts to say goodbye
So, if my tears are gettin' in your way
I'm imagining how your wings learn to fly
So, shine your light for all the world to see
Share the love you feel
But save the best for me
I want you to be somebody, be somebody, be somebody
I know you can be somebody
Be somebody strong
To me, you'll always be somebody
Ooh, you can be somebody
You'll never do wrong
Always be strong
If you need me you can count on me
I know, I know
You can be somebody, ooh
You can be somebody
I know you can be somebody
Ooh, somebody strong
In my heart you'll always be somebody, oh
You can be somebody
I know it, I know it, I know it
Oh, you'll never do wrong
You can fly, you can fly, oh, fly
