Grew up in my dad's shadow
Under my mom's shade
And then came along my sister
I found a friend
Now I'm not saying I was lonely
But what I'm saying is
No one understood me
Mom and dad sent me away
So I would study hard
and make a name
So I could be somebody of my own
Pride of my dad
Love of my mom
Guide to my sister
Somebody of my own
Solving the puzzle
Discovering the world
Teaching myself to be
Somebody of my own
Back in school
I made some friends
Friends I thought
Would last till the end
Now some stood by
Some left me
That's when I found
This was a world of greed
Everyone was trying hard
As hard as they could
To be a master
And have a slave
Some tried it on me
Most of them failed
But those few made me
Nobody of my own
Pride of my dad
Love of my mom
Guide to my sister
Somebody of my own
Solving the puzzle
Discovering the world
Teaching myself to be
Somebody of my own
When I broke free
From the shackles of lies
All I found
Was a world of greed
I tried all I could
To free the rest
But they'd gone blind
Out of greed for power
They say money is power
Power to be the master
All I know is you made
Money your master
It is just one of
The lies we've been told
All our lives
To make us nobody of our own
Pride of your dad
Love of your mom
Guide to your sister
Somebody of your own
Solving the puzzle
Discovering the world
Better teach yourself to be
Somebody of your own
