[Verse 1] I wasn't born with heavy shoulders I was just a little kid Running barefoot through the backyard Dreaming life was always big I never planned to be a question Or a headline people choose I was only chasing sunsets Long before I knew the truth [Pre-Chorus] Every heart begins the same Before the world starts handing out names [Chorus] I'm somebody's son Before I was anyone Before the labels, before the fear I was held, I was loved, I belonged here I'm somebody's son Just like everyone And if you could see me through my mother's eyes You'd remember we're all somebody's child [Verse 2] I've been judged without a conversation Watched strangers write my story down But no one saw the nights I prayed Just to make my family proud Love was never my rebellion It was simply who I am You don't have to understand me Just remember where I began [Bridge] One day every child Puts on a bigger pair of shoes Trying to become someone... Without losing the one Who first learned how to love. [Final Chorus] I'm somebody's son Before I was anyone More than whispers, more than shame More than every name they gave I'm somebody's son That's all I've ever been And maybe if we start from there The world could learn to love again [Outro] Before we're anything... We're somebody's child.
