Everybody is Somebody [Song]

EVERYBODY IS SOMEBODY
By Mighty Shadow

If a man is born is luxury,
They prove to me through history - he is somebody
And if a man is born in poverty,
Starvation and misery - he is nobody.

Everybody is somebody, nobody is nobody
The pauper or the wealthy, everybody is somebody.

Poverty is what dictate
To make such dangerous mistake about who is somebody
But when a woman makes her son or daughter
From the time that child is born, he or she is somebody, somebody.

Everybody is somebody, nobody is nobody
I mean the pauper, I mean the wealthy, oh yeah-yeah
Everybody is somebody.

Let me tell you this...

An empty pocket makes one sad
A loaded wallet makes one glad - listen carefully
If you are the one who is feeling glad
Remember that someone who is sad,  is somebody.

Everybody is somebody, nobody is nobody
I mean the pauper, I mean the wealthy, oh yeah-yeah-yeah
Everybody is somebody
Everybody is somebody, nobody is nobody
I mean the pauper, I mean the wealthy, oh yeah-yeah-yeah
Everybody is somebody.

A Note From The Gull

Thank you, Mighty Shadow!    

"Patria est communis omnium parens" - Our native land is the common parent of us all. Keep it beautiful, make it even more so.

Blessed is all of creation
Blessed be my beautiful people
Blessed be the day of our awakening
Blessed is my country
Blessed are her patient hills.

Mweh ka allay!
