Born to Be Somebody Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's a dream in my soul
A fire that's deep inside me
There's a me no one knows
Waiting to be set free

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm gonna see that day
I can feel it, I can taste it
Change is coming my way

[Chorus]
I was born to be somebody
Ain't nothing that's ever gonna stop me
I'll light up the sky like lightning
I'm gonna rise above, show 'em what I'm made of

I was born to be somebody, I was born to be
And this world will belong to me

[Verse 2]
This life can kick you around, woah
This world can make you feel small, woah
They will not keep me down, woah
I was born to stand tall

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm going all the way
I can feel it, I believe it
I'm here, I'm here to stay
[Chorus]
I was born to be somebody
Ain't nothing that's ever gonna stop me
I'll light up the sky like lighting
I'm gonna rise above, show 'em what I'm made of

I was born to be somebody, I was born to be
And this world will belong to me

[Bridge]
Feel it, believe it
Dream it, be it

[Chorus]
I was born to be somebody (Born to be, yeah, yeah)
Ain't nothing that's ever gonna stop me (No, no)
I'll light up the sky like lighting
I'm gonna rise above, show 'em what I'm made of

I was born to be somebody, I was born to be
And this world will belong to me

[Outro]
Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh
And this world will belong to me
Yeah, yeah, oh, oh, oh
This world will belong to me

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
