I am somebody, yeah
You are somebody, looka here

A lawyer is somebody
Though he loses every case that he pleads
A doctor is still somebody
Though he gives out the wrong remedy

Now, I may not have shoes
To put on my feet
I may not have a crust of bread to eat

Alright, now, I'll tell you I am somebody
Every man and woman is somebody

Though you're up in society
Tell me where would you be
Without everyday people like me

(You can make it, watch me make it
Watch me make it, I'm gonna make it)
Alright, alright now

I am somebody, every man
You are somebody
Say it again

(I am somebody), Oh!
(You are somebody)
Let's go wonder

(I am somebody),
I want you to remember one thing now
(You are somebody)
Look how I work to remember
(I am somebody), Gotta always remember that
(You are somebody)

(I am somebody),
Let me tell the world
(You are somebody)
Gotta let all the world know
Tell the world you are somebody
Let them all know
Tell the world

Stand up and tell the world
(I am somebody),
(You are somebody)

[end]
