Somebody Somewhere

Somebody somewhere must love me
And wonder what I’m doing today
And wonder what I’m thinking
And send some prayers my way

Somebody somewhere must love me
And want me to grow and mature
And want me to enjoy the little things
And love me for me for sure.

And that somebody somewhere who loves me
Who hopes my day goes well
Who hopes that I make some friends today
And says my signing’s swell

To you I just say thank you
For loving with arms much softer
Than those of any siren here
Though I have little to offer

For you see, my friend from somewhere,
I am just an empty shell
With nothing left on the inside of me
But dust and shadowy cell.

And so you somebody from somewhere
You really are my cure
For I know that you are on my side
Despite no great allure.

Somebody Somewhere does love me.
He knows what I’m doing today.
He knows what I am thinking.
He hears the prayers I pray.

He loves me for my flaws.
He loves me through my tears.
Because that Somebody from somewhere who loves me,
Is forever always here.
