You Don't Have to Try and Be Somebody
by Kenny Marks

Album: Follow Him

When the good Lord made you
He knew what He was doin'
And He had nobody else in mind
As a matter of fact
I can see that you're unique
You're original, you're one of a kind
Still, you go through your life
With its hassles and strife
Pretending to be someone you're not
Just cut the act, my friend
And you smile again
Learn to give 'cause you've got a lot

I say, you don't have to try and be somebody
Somebody you already are
I know you don't have to try and shoot for the moon
When inside you shines a glimmerin' star
I know you don't have to try and be somebody
Inside you there's somebody I love
I know you don't have to try and be somebody
You're someone you can be proud of

Well, I once met a man
He said of all the things in life
That he wished he was a big success
So he set out on that road
Could no longer bear the load
And this life became a tragic mess
He was tryin' to live a lie
And he was reachin' up too high
And soon his world came crashing down
It's a common thing I say
Yes, it happens everyday
It's an answer that I know I've found

I know you don't have to try and be somebody
Somebody you already are
I know you don't have to try and shoot for the moon
When inside you shines a glimmerin' star
I know you don't have to try and be somebody
Inside you there's somebody I love
I know you don't have to try and be somebody
You don't have to try and be somebody

Oh, you don't have to try and be somebody
Somebody you already are
I know you don't have to try and shoot for the moon
When inside you shines a glimmerin' star
I know you don't have to try and be somebody
Inside you there's somebody I love
I know you don't have to try and be somebody...
