Be Somebody (feat. Elijah Kelly) [From “Star” Season 2]

Lightning only sparks my freedom

Broken only makes me whole

And a star can't last forever

But I let hope row the boat

Everybody gotta fight their feelings

Everybody gotta face their truth, yeah

That our time won't last forever

But there's a reason God made you, you

Through all the hard, through the pain

Lonely nights, through the shame

Cause the start of the change is in you, dear

It's written in your blood, yeah, blood, yeah

Blood, yeah, your blood

Before the roof on the world was started

You were gonna be somebody

Your blood, yeah your blood, yeah your blood, yeah your blood

So as long as there's a beat where you heart is

You are gonna be somebody

We are able to say to ourselves, now, that we do count

I wanna say to everybody under the sound of my voice

This afternoon, that you are somebody

Don't let anybody make you feel that you are nobody

You are somebody, you have dignity

You have worth, don't be ashamed of yourself

And don't be ashamed of your heritage

Don't be ashamed of your color

Don't be ashamed of your hair

I am black and beautiful

I'm not ashamed to say it

It's written in your blood, yeah

Blood, yeah, your blood

Before the roof on the world was started

You were gonna be somebody

Your blood, yeah

Your blood, yeah

Your blood, yeah

Your blood

So as long as there's a beat where you heart is

You are gonna be somebody
