Prisoner

I had to leave –
 The place where I was born
 I had to travel –
 Didn't know where I was going
 Before I can get some sleep-
 I gotta stand in line
 I thought this rain would stop –
 That turned out to be a lie
 ♪
 I want to be somebody –
 Not just a name and a number
 I need to find some money –
 Get out from under this pain
 I see everyone around me
 Do the things that they do
 It's time I got to be somebody too
 Folks like me –
 Ain't got nobody
 Nobody to blame –
 No ways and means
 I got nobody –
 Waiting by the phone
 And what I do –
 I do it all alone
 ♪
 If one day I climb –the stairs of eternal night
 It couldn't be too soon –
 That would be alright
 I see people all around me –
 Do the things that they do
 It's time I got to be somebody too
