Lyrics
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
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
Do you remember running?
Do you remember wild?
Do you remember wanting
Just a little more light?
And what about that falling
For the very first time?
Do you remember second chances
After crossing that line?
Somebody's baby child
Somebody's child

Meaning & Inspiration
Somebody’s Child reflects on the dignity, vulnerability, and shared history carried by every person. Questions about home, childhood dreams, companionship, risk, and first love invite memories of a time when belonging felt close at hand. The chorus then widens that reflection: every life is precious to someone, marked by a mixture of wisdom, confusion, wonder, dishonesty, longing, and pain. That broad view resists reducing any person to a single mistake or strength.
Although the lyric does not directly quote Scripture, its concern for human worth can be read alongside the biblical teaching that every person bears God’s image. Its recollection of second chances also fits a Christian emphasis on mercy and restoration after failure. The phrase “somebody’s child” encourages compassion by placing relationships around each individual, including those whose stories remain unseen. Rather than offering a detailed doctrinal statement, the song presents a humane appeal to remember common dependence, complicated lives, and the enduring need to be known and held.
