Someone Singing Along
James Blunt Lyrics

Somebody's gonna wave a flag
People will showcase their patriotic emotions by waving national flags.

Somebody's going to attack
There will always be someone willing to use violence to get their point across.

Someone will tell you to take a side
People will try to force their opinion on you and ask you to choose a side, even if you don't want to.

Tell you their version of wrong or right
They will try to convince you that their opinion or belief is the only correct one.

Somebody's gonna let you in
Some people will give you a chance, regardless of your background or appearance.

Judged on the color of your skin
Unfortunately, some people will judge you based on your skin color or other physical characteristics.

Slam a door in the face of your friend
Some people will reject others simply because they do not 'look like them' or share their beliefs.

Simply because you don't look like him
Some people will reject others based on their physical appearance or because they hold different beliefs or opinions.

And then you gotta find a way that you're walkin', everybody's walkin'
In our difficult and ever-changing world, we have to keep up and find our own path through the chaos.

You gotta find the words to say
To navigate through difficult conversations and situations, we need to find the right words to say.

When you're talkin', everybody's talkin'
In a world where everyone is shouting their opinions and beliefs, it's hard to have a civil conversation.

So I built the words into a song
To express his own thoughts and feelings in a unique way, the artist turned them into a song.

I'm hopin' someone's singing along
The artist hopes that other people will be able to relate to his words and connect with his music.

And even if some notes are wrong
Even if he made mistakes, the artist still hopes that people will appreciate his music, relate to his words, and sing along.

'Cause just one voice is not enough
No single voice can fight against the problems plaguing our society alone.

I need to hear from everyone
To make a difference and change the world, we need to hear from and come together with everyone.

Somebody's gonna build a wall
Some people will try to create barriers between people, either literally or figuratively.

Then smash it with a cannon ball
Others will try to break down those barriers, either by force or by showing how unnecessary they truly are.

Someone who somehow has got a gun
There will always be people with weapons who feel they have the right to dictate others' actions and beliefs.

Will tell you who you can't and you can love
Some people will try to control who others love and dictate who they have relationships with.

Some people keeping all the cash
Some individuals will hoard money and resources, refusing to share and help others.

They're gonna get away with that
Some people will be able to get away with hoarding money and resources, even if it's unfair.

Just 'cause some people don't think like me
Some individuals will disagree with you on certain issues or beliefs, but that doesn't necessarily make them your enemy.

Does that really make them the enemy?
Simply disagreeing with someone doesn't make them our enemy, and we need to learn to respect differing opinions while still fighting for what we believe in.

Make a noise, I can hear you now
The artist wants people to make their voices heard and speak out against injustice and hatred.

Won't you raise your voice, just a little louder
The artist is urging people to take their voices to the next level and be even louder in their fight for change.
