Everybody
Raul Midón Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nobody anywhere.
A moment ago there were voices and faces to look upon,
Can't see them anywhere.
Nothing more to say and no one left to say it to anyway.
Please listen to what I say.
Everybody can be somebody.
Everybody can be somebody.
Everybody is free to make a difference in this world.
Picture a world where the people all feel there worth.
Children are everywhere.
There is a reason for everyone's time on earth.
Wondering why you should care.
Nothing more to say.
And only love can see us through anyway.
Please listen to what I say.
Everybody can be somebody.
Everybody is free to make a difference.
Everybody can be somebody.
Everybody is free to make a difference.
You don't have to be a big celebrity.
To feel the power, the power in your soul
You don't have to be a big star on mtv
To realize that in your eyes there's a view
That only you can see.
Everybody can be somebody.
Everybody is free to make a difference.
Everybody can be somebody.
Everybody is free to make a difference in this world
The song "Everybody" by Raul Midón is an inspiring and uplifting track that encourages listeners to recognize their own worth and potential to make a difference. The opening lyrics invite listeners to imagine a world where they are completely alone, with no one else around. This serves as a metaphor for feeling disconnected or isolated in society. However, the chorus reminds us that everybody has the power to be somebody and make a positive impact on the world, no matter who they are or where they come from.
Midón emphasizes the idea that everyone is free to make a difference, and this freedom is not limited to those who are famous or powerful. He asserts that even the average person can tap into their inner power and realize their potential. The song's bridge emphasizes this point, encouraging listeners to recognize that they do not need external validation or recognition to make their mark. They only need to believe in themselves and their own abilities.
Overall, "Everybody" is a powerful reminder of the importance of self-worth and self-belief, and the potential for every individual to contribute to positive change in the world.
