Nobody, Somebody

Nobody, Somebody
Intro:
Caller: Are you insane? What on earth do you think you is doing? I’m talking to you — dang it! Hello? Hello?
Response: Cleaning up the mess these barbarians left behind!

Verse 1:
There’s nothing you can do when people have already made up their minds about you…
But you can choose to live in joy, ’cause their opinions will never define you.
Let your heart stay light, your spirit free, no one else can steal your peace, yeah
Rise above the noise, let your own song soar and never cease; they’re behind!

Chorus:
Yeah, they said you’re a nobody, but you’re more than just a body…
And it’s God who made that body.
Do they even know?

Here comes that nobody—now they see you as somebody?
See, God doesn’t live in their body.
Haha! We know!

Verse 2:
Don’t let their whispers steal the light you hold,
Walk your path, trust God, stand bold.
Every step you take, every move you make,
You’re shining bright — they know.

Set your eyes on God; I know it’s hard,
But stand your ground, stay strong.
Guard your soul — others sold theirs out,
But we shine in the dark… they know. Chorus

Bridge:
Now sway…softly to the right,
Clap your hands, then glide gently to the left.
I say, swing…slowly to the right,
Stamp your feet, then drift gently to the left. Chorus
