From the recording Pepper's Ghost
Lyrics
I’ve seen too many heads hung low, Too many cold hearts say “not my road.”
We draw our lines in dust and fear, While our neighbor bleeds right here.
A hard world made by hands like mine, We can curse the dark or strike a light.
We gotta be somebody, stand up tall, Be somebody for one and all.
Kind in our hearts, strong in our hands, We the people gotta take a stand.
Compassion ain’t weak, empathy ain’t small, Generosity’s the strongest thing of all.
You don’t lose nothin’ when you give, That’s the only way we really live.
If love’s a fire, let it spread, Burn the hate till it’s good and dead.
I don’t care who you pray to at night, Who you love, or who you fight.
Every breath is borrowed time, Every heart beats the same damn rhyme.
Yeah, be somebody, raise your voice, Be somebody — make the choice.
For every color, every creed, Every soul that’s ever needed.
Be somebody, here and now, This is the moment, this is how.
