You're Gonna Be Somebody
by David & The Giants

Album: Inhabitants of The Rock

Born across the tracks
On the south side of Chicago
Your daddy was a no-good man
Your mama tried the best she could
Running in the streets
Fighting to survive
A lot of folks called you white trash
But you could hear your mother cry

You're gonna be somebody
You're gonna be somebody
Only start looking up
You're gonna be somebody, yeah

Times got awful rough
You lost your mama late last spring
Stealing cars and breaking in stores
Now you're looking out prison doors
You had a visit the other day
From a traveling Gospel band
You heard 'em sing an old familiar song
And you began to sing along

I'm gonna be somebody
I'm gonna be somebody
I'm gonna start looking up
I'm gonna be somebody

I heard you're back in town
Singing a brand new song
Walking the streets on south side
Spreading the good, good news
There's a lot of people
Come from miles around
Singing in harmony
The words mama sang to me

Now I'm somebody
At last, I'm somebody
Jesus made me somebody
You can be somebody too, yeah

Now I'm somebody, yeah
Don't you wanna be somebody
Now I'm somebody
Jesus made me somebody
Thank you, Lord
Now I'm somebody...
