He's Got To Be Someone Lyrics

Lea Salonga He's Got To Be Someone

You don't know him
Like I know him
He must be allowed to stand proud
If you shame this man and make him crawl
He'd be no man at all, no man at all

He's got to be someone
Who wakes every morning
And takes on the world for a limb
Who touches your hand and makes you fall for only him

And he's got to be someone
Who's strong as a lion yet sweet as a meadowlark's song
Who makes any dream seem like you'd love to go along

Oh, everything about him is a contradiction
Built a boundless empire with the heart of a child
I'd trade it all if I could just recall
The last time the Emperor smiled

And he's got to be someone
Who burns with a passion that never ever sets him free
Oh, please say tonight might relieve him of his misery
And bring back the someone I knew to me...
