Danny Gokey Lyrics

"Be Somebody" lyrics


Joker Johnny
Was a lie teller
Oh, 'cause he thought somebody
Might like him better

So he built it up and built it up
'Til it all fell down
But he never thought the bitter truth
Was gonna find him out

And he did it all
To impress someone else
When all he really had to do
Was stop and be himself

Oh, now everybody
Wants to be somebody
Oh, yes it's true
No telling what
Some people will do

Well, now nobody
Wants to be a nobody
'Cause it's a far more bitter fame
To go through this life
Carryin' that weight

When they shoot somebody
For the clothes they wear
Then they'll advertise it
Like it's ordinary

They got territory
And so they stand their ground
But what they don't know is
What comes around
Comes right back around

What they really wanted
Is to be accepted
What you'll find out in the end
Is the street is self-correcting

Oh, yeah everybody
Wants to be somebody
Oh, yes it's true
No telling what
Some people will do

Well, now nobody
Wants to be a nobody
'Cause it's a far more bitter fame
To go through this life
Carryin' that weight

Far more worse than dying
Is living with a soul
That's laden with the consequence
Of all the happiness you stole

Sometimes a guilty conscience
And carrying the pain
Is harder than a bullet to the brain

Everybody
Wants to be a somebody
Oh, yes it's true
No telling what
Some people will do

Oh, now nobody
Wants to be a nobody
It's a far more bitter fame

Everybody
Wants to be somebody
Oh, yes it's true
No telling what
Some people will do

Well, now nobody
Wants to be a nobody
To go through this life
Carryin' that weight
