Paula Cole – Be Somebody
E H
I want to be somebody
C#m A
I want to make a difference
E
Little boy caught in a drive-by
G#m
Witnessed the killer who made his daddy die,
A
And 'cause he identified and signed the dotted line,
H
He could feel it in his stomach, he signed away his life
E
Little boy who once was the leader of his class
G#m
The little source of joy, always neatly dressed
A
Now would hang his head and be left crying at his desk,
H
Was found with his mother, lying in her lap
F#m
With two bullets in his chest
F#m
And,oh my god,what is this madness?
A
I will not let it kill by gladness
F#m
And,oh my god, what is this madness?
A H E
My joy inside will send this message
H
I want to be somebody
C#m
I want to make a difference,
A H E
For we all are children of the Mother
H
I want to be somebody
C#m
I want to make a difference,
A H E C#m A G#m
For we all are children of the Father
E
Outspoken man, leading sisters and brothers,
G#m
Picked himself up from hustling,drugs and gutters
A
Doing time on the inside, he found a higher power
H
Now, back with a mission to help us help each other
E
Respected from bourgeoisie to homeless in the street
H
From universities, Africa, the Middle East
A
And through the threats of death he spoke truth and set men free
H
But the power of the truth made enemies of the weak
F#m
He was killed by his own people

E G#m
Ignite This Fire inside, this light that is the Truth
A H
Shake off the system's chains, no longer be their fool
E G#m
In the face of brutality, show the other cheek
A H
Trigger-happy policing will never kill our dignity
F#m
And,oh my god, what is this madness?
A
I will not let it kill my gladness
F#m
And, oh my god, what is this madness?
