I am somebody!

I AM SOMEBODY

(Melinda Lewis)

Hey! I am somebody!

I am more than just your mother.

I am more than just your wife.

I am more than just your daughter.

I am me!

Hey! I am somebody!

I did my best to raise you.

I did my best to make you happy.

I did my best to keep you safe.

Now, what are you going to do for me?

Hey! I am somebody!

I did my best to raise our kids.

I did my best to make you happy.

I did my best to keep the home fires burning.

Now, what are you going to do for me?

Hey! I am somebody!

I did my best to earn your trust.

I did my best to make you happy.

I did my best to make you proud.

Now, what are you going to do for me?

Hey! I am somebody!

I will do my best to make me happy.

I will do my best to make me proud.

I will do my best to love me.

Now, what can I do for me?
