Lyrics

Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Live your life, and just be your self
'Cause you're somebody special, 'cause, somebody loves your life
So just be your self, 'cause you're somebody special 'cause, someone loves your life, life
Hey, hey, I can see you shining, shining
I can see you shining with light, with light
Hey, hey, I can see you shining, shining
I can see you shining bright
In America today (ooh), people seem they lost their way
They don't know they're wrong from right
Something, something just ain't right
'Cause on T.V., in magazines, all I see is violent things
Killers here, and killers there, killers seems to be everywhere
Where did all the healers go? Yo, I don't know, I don't know
Maybe all the killers killed them yo, Carlos, let's save the children
Let's build their minds up, and build their spines up
Teach 'em how to stand proud, to say it, just say it loud
I am somebody (say it), I am somebody (say it), I am somebody, somebody, I am somebody, I am somebody, I am somebody
And you can be who you want to be, go where you want to go, love who you want to love, hey
It's your life, so just be your self
'Cause you're somebody special, 'cause, somebody loves your life
So just be your self, 'cause you're somebody special, 'cause someone loves your life, life
Hey, hey, I can see you shining, shining
I can see you shining with light, with light
Hey, hey, I can see you shining, shining
I can see you shining bright
In America today (today), when people call up in pain (pain)
Let's try to help them change, and stop this suffering
Teach 'em how to stand for something (something), and I stand for nothing (nothing), and
Just stand proud, just say it, just say it loud
I am somebody (say it), somebody I am somebody, I am somebody (say it), I am somebody
And I can be who I want to be, go where I want to go, love who I want to love, hey
And you can be who you want to be, go where you want to go, love who you want to love, hey
I am somebody (say it), I am somebody (say it), I am somebody, somebody, I am somebody, I am somebody, I am somebody
And you can be who you want to be, go where you want to go, love who you want to love, hey
'Cause someone loves my life, life
Hey, hey, I can see you shining, shining
I can see you shining with light, with light
Hey, hey, I can see you shining, shining
I can see you shining bright
Hey, hey hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
