Story behind the song
Nobody, Somebody is a bold, joyful anthem about identity, dignity, and quiet confidence in God. It speaks to anyone who has ever been dismissed, misunderstood, or judged before being known. Framed as a brief, confrontational exchange in the intro, the song immediately sets the tone: while some are busy criticising and shouting, the real workrestoration, faithfulness, purposeis already underway. The verses acknowledge a hard truth: people often make up their minds about you long before you speak. Rather than fighting for approval, the song chooses a higher groundjoy, peace, and trust in God. It reminds the listener that no opinion can redefine what God has already formed, and that true worth is not granted by crowds but given by the Creator. The chorus flips the narrative. What the world calls a “nobody, God reveals as a “somebody. It’s both defiant and celebratory, declaring that identity rooted in God cannot be stolen, reduced, or ignored. The repeated refrain, “they know, suggests a quiet irony: even those who doubt can see the light when it refuses to go out. The bridge invites movementsimple, communal, childliketurning the song into a shared moment of freedom. It’s a reminder that joy itself can be an act of resistance. At its core, Nobody, Somebody is about standing firm without bitterness, shining without permission, and trusting that God’s presence in you matters more than the noise around you.
Lyrics
Nobody, Somebody Intro: Caller: Are you insane? What on earth do you think you is doing? I’m talking to you dang it! Hello? Hello? Response: Cleaning up the mess these barbarians left behind! Verse 1: There’s nothing you can do when people have already made up their minds about you But you can choose to live in joy, ’cause their opinions will never define you. Let your heart stay light, your spirit free, no one else can steal your peace, yeah Rise above the noise, let your own song soar and never cease; they’re behind! Chorus: Yeah, they said you’re a nobody, but you’re more than just a body And it’s God who made that body. Do they even know? Here comes that nobodynow they see you as somebody? See, God doesn’t live in their body. Haha! We know! Verse 2: Don’t let their whispers steal the light you hold, Walk your path, trust God, stand bold. Every step you take, every move you make, You’re shining bright they know. Set your eyes on God; I know it’s hard, But stand your ground, stay strong. Guard your soul others sold theirs out, But we shine in the dark they know. *Chorus* Bridge: Now swaysoftly to the right, Clap your hands, then glide gently to the left. I say, swingslowly to the right, Stamp your feet, then drift gently to the left. *Chorus* Copyright 2025 Richard Shekari Written, produced and performed by Richard Shekari.
