Cary Morin
prisoner
I had to leave â
the place where I was born
I had to travel â
didn't know where I was going
Before I can get some sleep-
I gotta stand in line
I thought this rain would stop â
that turned out to be a lie
I want to be somebody â
not just a name and a number
I need to find some money â
Get out from under this pain
I see everyone around me
Do the things that they do
It's time I got to be somebody too
Folks like me â
Ain't got nobody
Nobody to blame â
no ways and means
I got nobody â
waiting by the phone
And what I do â
I do it all alone
If one day I climb âthe stairs of eternal night
It couldn't be too soon â
that would be alright
I see people all around me â
do the things that they do
It's time I got to be somebody too
