Be Somebody Songtext
von Austin Williams

St. Jude kid smilin′ on a TV screen
Young man leavin' in some army green
Sin′le mom workin', tryna keep the lights on
Eighteen-wheeler tryna make it back home
Sweat beadin' on the brim of a cowboy hat
I wanna be somebody like that

There′s a girl in blue, puts her life on the line
And a fireman that saved one last night
And a third-grade teacher by your side in a classroom
Buddy with a buddy′s last day on a tattoo
The man that makes his livin' from an old feed sack
I wanna be somebody like that


If you′re gonna be somebody, yeah, be somebody
One that ain't scared to love somebody
Leave ′em better than you found somebody
Sunday mornin', singin′ "Hallelujah" somebody
Show up, shine or rain, somebody
Ain't scared to go against the grain, somebody
Give a damn, give a hand, give the shirt off your back
If you're gonna be somebody

Yeah, be somebody like that

Be the one to put your boots on the ground
Stand where you stand, nah, never back down
Be the same ol′ same, no matter what crowd
Remember where you′re from, don't forget your hometown
Know how to work
And know the worth of a girl that won′t leave your side

And if you're gonna be somebody, yeah, be somebody
One that ain′t scared to love somebody
Leave 'em better than you found somebody
Sunday mornin′, singin' "Hallelujah" somebody
Show up, shine or rain, somebody
Ain't scared to go against the grain, somebody
Give a damn, give a hand, give a shirt off your back
If you′re gonna be somebody

Yeah, be somebody like that
Yeah, be somebody like that

Do all the good you can, and try not to get caught
Follow Jesus and your heart no matter what it cost


If you′re gonna be somebody, yeah, be somebody
One that ain't scared to love somebody
Leave ′em better than you found somebody
Sunday mornin', singin′ "Hallelujah" somebody
Show up, shine or rain somebody
Ain't scared to go against the grain somebody
Give a damn, give a hand, give a shirt off your back
Yeah, if you′re gonna be somebody

Be somebody like that
Oh, be somebody like that
If you're gonna be, if you're gonna be somebody
Yeah, be somebody like that
