Big smile and it's time to go
I check it off my calendar, and then I hit the road
He's gonna make me rich, when every man gets his
Just like he made the bridge, just like he made the bridge
I heard he looks out for the people like me, oh
Yeah, these the people that got children to feed
I get out my car, I found it
As the trumpets sounded
I've got nothing left to give
(Reason why it's close to me)
(That's the same reason I pull my feet)
Imperfect but Huey would never know
So I scrambled to the front and tried to hand him what I wrote, yeah
He grabbed my hand and he pulled me on stage
He handed me the microphone and then he asked me my name
He gave me his handshake, oh, he gave me his handshake
Yah, I'm up, yah, everybody must know it
Yah, I'm up, yah, everybody must know it
Yah, I'm up, yah, everybody must know it
Yah, I'm up, yah, everybody must know it
Every man a king, every man a king, every, every
Every man a king, every man a king, every, every
Every man a king, every man a king, every, every
Every man a king, every man a king, every, every
Every man a king, every man a king, every, every
Every man a king, every man a king, every, every
Every man a king, every man a king, every, every
Every man a king, every man a king, every, every
I'm gonna be somebody, I'm gonna be somebody
I'm gonna be somebody, I'm gonna be somebody
Yah, I'm up, yah, everybody must know it
Yah, I'm up, yah, everybody must know it
Yah, I'm up, yah, everybody must know it
Yah, I'm up, yah, everybody must know it
Yah, I'm up, yah, everybody must know it
Yah, I'm up, yah, everybody must know it
Yah, I'm up, yah, everybody must know it
Yah, I'm up, yah, everybody must know it
The rally ends and I get back home
I put my jacket on my bed and I lie on the floor
I got the weight of the world, I got the state in my hands
Yeah, every man is a king, but every king is a man
I try to look out for the people like me, but
That doesn't make me the things I want to be, oh
It doesn't fix the things that's wrong in the world, oh
It doesn't reach the goals that I can't achieve, no
But I try, and I step up on stage
I can help another man, I can make another change
Oh, my hands shake
Oh, my hands shake
Yah, I'm up, yah, everybody must know it
Yah, I'm up, yah, everybody must know it
Yah, I'm up, yah, everybody must know it
Yah, I'm up, yah, everybody must know it
Yah, I'm up, yah, everybody must know it
Yah, I'm up, yah, everybody must know it
Yah, I'm up, yah, everybody must know it
Yah, I'm up, yah, everybody must know it
