Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Can you see me?

'Cause I'm right here

Can you listen?

'Cause I've been trying to make you notice

What it would mean to me

To feel like somebody

We've been on our way to nowhere

Tryin' so hard to get there

And I say

Oh!

We're gonna let it show!

We're gonna just let go of everything

Holding back our dreams

And try

To make it come alive

C'mon let it shine so they can see

We were meant to be

Somebody (Somebody)

Somebody, yeah (Somebody)

Somehow

Someday

Someway

Somebody

I'm so tired

Of being invisible

But I feel it, yeah

Like a fire below the surface

Trying to set me free

Burnin' inside of me

'Cause were standing on the edge now

It's a long way down

But I say

Oh!

We're gonna let it show!

We're gonna just let go of everything

Holding back our dreams

And try

To make it come alive

C'mon let it shine so they can see

We were meant to be

Somebody (Somebody)

Somebody, yeah (Somebody)

Somehow

Someday

Someway

Somebody

We will walk out of this darkness

Feel the spotlight glowing like a yellow sun

Ohohohohoh (Ohohohohoh)

And when we fall we fall together

'Til we get back up and we will rise as one

Ohohohohoh

Oh!

We're gonna let it show!

We're gonna just let go of everything

Holding back our dreams

And try

To make it come alive

C'mon let it shine so they can see

We were meant to be

Somebody (Somebody)

Somebody, yeah (Somebody)

Somehow

Someday

Someway

Somebody

Somebody

Ooo Oh
