SOMEBODY      They all laughed at me   when I told 'em someday I would be   somebody famous, somebody smart   someone who could make the Red Sea part   I'd be bigger than Jesus, that's right      They all who turned their backs   when I told the children to relax   not to be nervous, not to be scared   not to face the judgment unprepared   They tried to put me away, but hey   the teachings of the chosen    only reach the chosen few   They can call me crazy   but they wouldn’t if they knew      If you were me, wouldn’t you wanna be   somebody too?      I was small and weak   I could barely find the words to speak   what I was seein', I couldn't say   I was never right up on display   I could hardly believe it, oh no   But I found the strength within   comfort on the color of my skin   I was a danger of their success    caught on the emotional express   I wasn’t coming or going, and so   I spread my arms in front of all my disciples and I flew   and I locked myself away inside a room   and I went through      Tell me, if you were me   wouldn’t you wanna be, somebody too?   Somebody who, wanted to do   something new?   And if you were me   and you were locked in a room   you weren't older than three   and you were told to be wise   by another man's voice that you did not recognize   and you swear, you can hear your mother's voice    on the other side somewhere and she cries   she cries and you can never do a thing but close your fucking eyes and   look inside (x3)   your heart, its gold   look inside (x3)   your heart, it's...      They all ran away   when I told something I would play   songs that move 'em, words that'll shake   every single fucking one of them awake      Thought that they could ignore me, oh no   'cause if I can change one mind   then everyone will follow close behind   and no one'll ever stay in one place   not long enough to recognize my face   and they will lay before me, because   the strength of some accomplishment will penetrate ‘em deep   Look down deep inside to find that place to fall asleep      So tell me, If you were me   wouldn’t you wanna be Oohh... somebody too?   Somebody who, wanted to do   Ohhhh...      and if you were me   and you were locked in a room   you weren't older than three   and you were told to be wise   by another drunk voice that you did not recognize   and you swear, you can hear your mother's voice    on the other side somewhere and she cries   she cries and you can never do a thing but close your fucking eyes and…      look inside (x3)   your heart, its gold   look inside (x3)   your heart, it's gold   look inside (x3)   your heart, it's gold
