Someone Like Me
Head in the clouds, boy
What was he thinking?
He should’ve just stopped at the door
But he travelled that road
Where the few were once told
Just remember your place like before.
Open the Heavens
To the difference of Angels
Some couldn’t see beyond their own fears.
But he did what he promised
He did what he came for
And he was someone like me
He was someone like me
He was someone like me.
He was born in our country
Despite all the grumblings
Through the strife and unrest
He made our lives better
Despite slinging arrows
They tried to take down his world
Open the Heavens
To the difference of Angels
Some couldn’t see beyond their own fears.
But he did what he promised
He did what he came for
And he was someone like me
He was someone like me
He was someone like me.
He’s somebody’s father
He’s somebody’s friend
You can believe,
When he says “Yes, we can
He said change will not come
If we’re waiting for some
We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.
He dares us to dream
For what Dr. King believed
If you chose to walk through that door.
He was someone like me
He was someone like me.
He was someone like me
He was someone like me.
He was someone like me
He was someone like me.
