(verse 1)
I wanna be somebody
But I just don't know who
I wanna be some one
That I can look up to
I wanna feel like I'm alive
I want to shine inside
I wanna feel brand new
I wanna feel brand new


(verse 2)
I wanna be the man I know
With some fire down in my soul
I wanna know what lies ahead
Before I end up just lying dead
I wanna feel like I'm alive
I want to shine inside
I wanna feel brand new
I wanna feel brand new

I wanna be somebody
But I just don't know who
I wanna be some one
That I can look up to
I wanna feel like I'm alive
I want to shine inside
I wanna feel brand new, brand new, brand new.
