     A
He's everybody's token,
on everybody's wall,
blessing all the papers,
thanking one and all
E
Hugging all the babies,
kissing all the ladies
A
Knowing all that you think about
from writing on the wall

Chorus:
D              C
He's so divine, his soul shines
Bm                   A
Breaks the night, sleep tight
D                         C
His ever loving face smiles
on the whole human race
Bm                  A
He says I'm somebody
D                            C
He's got his eye on your soul,
his hand on your heart
       Bm
He says don't hurry, baby
 F
Somebody up there (somebody) likes me

He's the savage son of the tv tube
planets wrote the day was due,
All the wisest men around predicted
that a man was found
Who looked a lot like you and me,
yeah everyone with sense could see
Nothing left his eye unmoved,
he had the plan, he had to use

Chorus:
Somebody so divine, his soul shines
Somebody Breaks the night, sleep tight
Somebody His ever loving face smiles
on the whole human race
He's got his eye on your soul,
his hand on your heart
He says Don't hurry, baby
Somebody up there (somebody)

Somebody plays my song in tune
Makes me, makes me, makes me stronger for you
Was a way when we were young,
that any man was judged by what he'd done
But now you pick them on the screen
(what they look like) Where they've been
Keep your eye on your soul and
your hand on your heart
He says don't hurry, baby
Somebody up there (somebody)

Leaders come, they hate all the people know
That given time, the leaders go
Tell me, can they hold you under their spell
Can they walk and hold you as well
as a smile like Valentino?
Could he sell you anything?
Keep your eyes on your soul,
keep your hand on your heart he says
don't hurry, baby
Somebody up there (somebody) likes me
