Somebody
Navigating Life's Currents: Somebody's Journey of Self-Discovery
Lyrics
Somebody's gettin' outa bed
Someone is getting out of bed.
Somebody's gettin' herself dressed
Someone is dressing herself.
Somebody's combin' back her hair
Someone is combing back her hair.
Somebody's dancin' down the stairs
Someone is dancing down the stairs.
And on the T.V. and in the magazines
Media portrays people she admires and aspires to be like.
She sees the people she would like to be
She sees the idealized images of people in magazines and on TV.
Somebody steals away her dreams
Someone is stealing her dreams.
Somebody ? race is all they see
Someone judges her based on her race.
Somebody take(s) away her pride
Someone is taking away her pride.
Somebody don't know wrong from right
Someone is confused about what is right and wrong.
See how we are
Reflecting on the current state of affairs.
There ain't no 4-leaf clover
No luck or good fortune in the current situation.
In the blink of an eye
Things can change rapidly.
Everything changes
Change is inevitable; starting anew is necessary.
We gotta start all over
We have to begin again after significant changes.
Down in that deep muddy river (so long ago)
Referring to a distant past and challenges faced.
Blood is much thicker than water (the angels know)
Family bonds are stronger than other connections.
Love is the ocean we swim in (so long ago)
Love is a fundamental element of life.
Carry us to our beginning (the angels know)
Love guides us back to our origins.
Somebody take(s) away my name(s)
Someone is taking away personal identity or individuality.
Somebody tell me who I am
Searching for a clear sense of self.
Somebody testify for love
Advocating for love and its positive impact.
Somebody where are you tonight?
Someone is absent or missing tonight.
Down in that deep muddy river (so long ago)
Reflecting on challenges from the distant past.
Blood is much thicker than water (the angels know)
Family bonds are enduring and significant.
She hears a voice sweetly singing (so long ago)
Hearing a comforting voice in memory.
Down in that deep purple ocean (the angels know)
Referencing a deep and mysterious emotional state.
But we never know where we're goin' (so come on home)
We are uncertain about our future destination.
And carry us to our beginning (the angels know)
Love guides us back to our origins (repeated theme).
