"Be Somebody" lyrics

St. Jude kid, smiling on a TV screen
Young man leaving in some army green
Single mom working, tryna keep the lights on
Eighteen-wheeler tryna make it back home
Sweat beading on the brim of a cowboy hat
Wanna be somebody like that

There's a girl in blue puts her life on the line
And a fireman that saved one last night
And a third-grade teacher by your side in a classroom
Buddy with a buddy's last day on a tattoo
The man that makes his living from an old feed sack
Wanna be somebody like that

If you're gonna be somebody, yeah, be somebody
One that ain't scared to love somebody
Leave 'em better than you found somebody
Sunday morning, singing "Hallelujah" somebody
Show up, shine or rain, somebody
Ain't scared to go against the grain, somebody
Give a damn, give a hand, give the shirt off your back
If you're gonna be somebody, yeah, be somebody like that

Be the one to put your boots on the ground
Stand where you stand, nah, never back down
Be the same ol' same, no matter what crowd
Remember where you're from, don't forget your hometown
Know how to work and know the worth of a girl that won't leave your side

And if you're gonna be somebody, yeah, be somebody
One that ain't scared to love somebody
Leave 'em better than you found somebody
Sunday morning, singing "Hallelujah" somebody
Show up, shine or rain, somebody
Ain't scared to go against the grain, somebody
Give a damn, give a hand, give the shirt off your back
If you're gonna be somebody, yeah, be somebody like that
Yeah, be somebody like that

Do all the good you can, and try not to get caught
Follow Jesus and your heart, no matter what it costs

If you're gonna be somebody, yeah, be somebody
One that ain't scared to love somebody
Leave 'em better than you found somebody
Sunday morning, singing "Hallelujah" somebody
Show up, shine or rain, somebody
Ain't scared to go against the grain, somebody
Give a damn, give a hand, give the shirt off your back
If you're gonna be somebody, yeah, be somebody like that

Oh, be somebody like that
If you're gonna be, if you're gonna be somebody
Yeah, be somebody like that
