Need To Be Somebody

Please don’t talk to me
To try to make things better
Words fall from your mouth
Like laymen predicting weather
I’m just trying to get along
Tryin’ to prove all that is wrong
Need to be somebody’s thoughts not mine

Feel the waters rise
I’ve got to hear the reasons
All that you talk about
The words carry no meaning
You’ve just got to find a place
Free your body mind from the waste
Need to be somebody’s friend not mine

So please don’t turn to me
I can’t know all the answers
Life draws boats out of me
From the mainland to the ocean
We’ve just got to carry on
Feed the life that has begun
Need to be somebody’s hero not mine

Old man sitting by the road
He’s got no other clothes
Please listen
Old man I can feel the pain
Washed away by the rain
Please listen to me

Go now go wandering
Reach out to those that need you
Open out the world in you
In solitude, there is no meaning

Need to be somebody

"Another Rachels Basement song, originally recorded in UB40's studio. Robin Gibb was suggested to me as an influence, which is possible. So if anybody knows him..."
