Be Somebody
Thousand Foot Krutch Lyrics

I'm just the boy inside the man
I am still growing and learning, even though I may appear to be an adult.

Not exactly who you think I am
I may not fit into the stereotype or preconceived notion that you have of me.

Trying to trace my steps back here again
I am attempting to revisit past experiences and better understand how they shaped me.

So many times
I have tried to go back and understand my past, but I still have more to learn.

I'm just a speck inside your hand
I am tiny and insignificant compared to the vast universe, but I am still valuable and known by a higher power.

You came and made me who I am
You have helped shape me and influence who I have become.

I remember where it all began
I have vivid memories of how my journey started and have not forgotten my roots.

So clearly
My memories are crystal clear and still impact me today.

I feel a million miles away
I may feel distant from others or lost in my own thoughts and emotions.

Still you connect me in your way
Despite my feelings of isolation, you still find a way to connect with me and make me feel not alone.

And you create in me
Through your influence and guidance, I am transformed into a better version of myself.

Something I would've never seen
You have opened my eyes to new possibilities and potential that I would not have otherwise discovered on my own.

When I could only see the floor
When my perspective was limited to only what was in front of me, you helped me see beyond my immediate surroundings.

You made my window a door
You helped me see that there are opportunities and solutions that exist beyond what I initially thought was possible.

So when they say they don't believe
When others doubt or question my beliefs and values,

I hope that they see you in me
I hope they are able to recognize the positive impact you have had on me and how you have shaped me into who I am today.

After all the lights go down
When all is said and done and the distractions of the world fade away,

I'm just the words you are the sound
I realize that without your influence and guidance, my words and actions would not have the same impact.

A strange type of chemistry
The connection we share may not be easily explained, but it is undeniably strong and transformative.

How you've become a part of me
Your influence has become a natural and essential part of who I am.

And when I sit alone at night
During moments of self-reflection and solitude,

Your thoughts burn through me like a fire
I am consumed by thoughts of you and the impact you have had on my life.

You're the only one who knows
You understand me on a deeper level than anyone else.

Who I really am
You see past the surface level and know the true, authentic version of myself.

We all wanna be somebody
We all have a desire to make a positive impact and leave a mark on the world.

We just need a taste of who we are
We need to discover and embrace our true identity and potential before we can make a meaningful impact.

We're willing to go, but not that far
We may have big dreams and ambitions, but we are hesitant to take the necessary risks and steps to pursue them.

We may have big dreams and ambitions, but we are hesitant to take the necessary risks and steps to pursue them.

And we're all see through, just like glass
We are all vulnerable and can be easily broken and exposed.

And we can shatter just as fast
Our dreams and sense of self can be shattered and destroyed in an instant.

That light's been burned out for a while
I may have lost my sense of purpose or direction for a long period of time.

I still see it every time I pass
Despite feeling lost, there is still a flicker of hope and belief that things can change for the better.

It was lost in the corners of my mind
My sense of purpose may have been buried or forgotten in my subconscious thoughts.

Behind a box of reasons why
My logical and analytical thoughts may have prevented me from seeing my true potential and finding my passion.

I never doubted it was there
Even in my darkest moments, I held onto the hope that my sense of purpose and passion still existed within me.

It just took a little time to find
Through self-reflection and guidance, I was able to rediscover my sense of purpose and true identity.
