Be Somebody

The shades go up
 Mother's staring down
 She don't know where he's been
 Or how long he's been out
 She said "Boy I'm tired of waiting
 Up while you're out with your friends"
 He said "Mom i'm tired and i'm living my life the best way that I can"
 Cause I'm trying to be somebody
 I'm not trying to be somebody else
 This life is mine I'm living
 Don't you know me? I wont ever let you down
 ♪
 The day has come
 The sun is moving on
 She don't know where he'll go
 Or when he's coming home
 She said "Son take care,
 Don't let your dreams get too far out of sight"
 He said "I love you now, don't worry about me you know I'll be fine"
 Cause I'm trying to be somebody
 I'm not trying to be somebody else
 This life is mine I'm living
 Don't you know me? I wont ever let you down
 No
 I'm not trying to be somebody else
 Don't you know me? I wont ever let you
 I wont ever let you
 What they say
 What they know
 What they think won't ever bring me down
 This life is mine and I am my own
 I'm trying to be somebody
 I'm not trying to be somebody else
 This life is mine I lead
 Don't you know me?
 I'm trying to be somebody
 I'm not trying to be somebody else
 This life is mine I'm living
 Don't you know me? I wont ever let you down
 No (I am my own)
 I'm not trying to be somebody else
 (I am my own)
 Don't you know me? I wont ever let you down
 (I am my own)
 I wont be nobody else
 This life is mine and I am my own
