Somebody


somebody’s living because somebody cared

Lift a finger, raise a hand

Rise above the sand

Somebody’s living because somebody cared

 

Somebody’s leaving because nobody cared

Lay down, let it pull you under

Sink down, never wander

Somebody’s leaving because nobody cared

 

Somebody’s screaming because somebody’s scared

Ripped apart, torn to pieces

Sinking down, it all turns to wishes

Somebody’s screaming because somebody’s scared

 

Somebody’s crying because somebody’s loved

Built up for nothing

Lifted from weight that’s crushing

Somebody’s crying because somebody’s loved
