Somebody’s Child Lyrics – Blessing Offor

[Verse 1: Blessing Offor]
Do you remember dreaming?
Do you remember home?
Do you remember feeling
Like you were not alone?
When a minute was forever
And you had a hand to hold
Tell me you remember
And that you’ll never let go
Never let go

[Chorus: Blessing Offor, Dolly Parton]
We’re all somebody’s baby
We’re all somebody’s child
We’re all some kinda crazy
We’re all some kinda wise
We’re all full of amazing
We’re all flirting with lies
We’re all somebody’s heartache
Somebody’s can’t wait, somebody’s why
We’re all somebody’s baby
We’re all somebody’s child, mm

[Verse 2: Dolly Parton, Blessing Offor, Both]
Do you remember running? (Mm)
Do you remember wild? (Mhm)
Do you remember wanting, yeah
Just a little more light? (Yes, I do)
And what about that falling
For the very first time?
Do you remember second chances
After crossing that line?
Crossing that line

[Chorus]
We’re all somebody’s baby
We’re all somebody’s child
We’re all some kinda crazy
We’re all some kinda wise
We’re all full of amazing
We’re all flirting with lies
We’re all somebody’s heartache
Somebody’s can’t wait, somebody’s why
We’re all somebody’s baby
We’re all somebody’s child
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Bridge]
Somebody’s baby child
Somebody’s baby child
Somebody’s baby child

[Chorus]
We’re all somebody’s baby
We’re all somebody’s child (Somebody’s child)
We’re all some kinda crazy
We’re all some kinda wise
We’re all full of amazing
We’re all flirting with lies
We’re all somebody’s heartache
Somebody’s can’t wait, somebody’s why
We’re all somebody’s baby
We’re all somebody’s child
