A call-and-response performance chanting "I am somebody" affirms the worth of people living in poverty, youth in trouble, those who made mistakes, and anyone facing discrimination. Each condition ends with the same declaration: they are somebody, God's child, deserving respect and applause.

Ready on the stump? Yeah! Okay, here we go. I am— somebody. Somebody! I am— somebody. Somebody! I may be poor— but I am— somebody.
Somebody!
I may be young—
but I am—
somebody. Somebody! I may be on welfare— but I am— somebody. Somebody!
I may be small—
But I am somebody!
Somebody!
I may make a mistake but I am somebody! My clothes are different, my face is different, my hair is different, but I am somebody! I am black, brown, white— I speak a different language, but I must be respected, protected, never rejected. I am God's child. I am somebody. Give yourself a big hand.
