Somebody did a good deed today
Showing they were a friend all the way;
Somebody let their smile shine bright,
Spreading good cheer from morning to night.
Was that somebody you?
Was that somebody you?

Somebody thought this life so sweet
looking for folks with needs to meet
Somebody who fought for the good
protecting all the neighborhood
Was that somebody you?
Was that somebody you?

Somebody gave a gift to cheer
showing that love was ever clear
Somebody shared the love of Christ
shared how His will was sacrificed
Was that somebody you?
Was that somebody you?

Somebody let time slip away
carelessly whiled 'way all the day
Somebody's life reaped what it sowed
telling the world by what it showed
[falling far short of what he owed]
[doesn't it make sense how it bode?]
[seemingly made plain what it showed]
[giving a clue by what it showed]
Was that somebody you?
Was that somebody you?

Somebody, at last, saw the light
gave up the darkness of the night
Somebody's life grew joy and peace
someday the fruit will sure increase
Was that somebody you?
Was that somebody you?

Somebody did a golden deed
Proving himself a friend indeed;
Somebody sang a cheerful song,
Bright’ning the sky the whole day long,
Was that somebody you?
Was that somebody you?

Somebody tho’t ‘tis sweet to live,
Willingly said, "I’m glad to give;"
Somebody fought a valiant fight,
Bravely he lived to shield the right,
Was that somebody you?
Was that somebody you?

Somebody made a loving gift,
Cheerfully tried a load to lift;
Somebody told the love of Christ,
Told how His will was sacrificed,
Was that somebody you?
Was that somebody you?

Somebody idled all the hours,
Carelessly crushed life’s fairest flow’rs;
Somebody made life loss, not gain,
Tho’tlessly seemed to live in vain,
Was that somebody you?
Was that somebody you?

Somebody filled the days with light,
Constantly chased away the night;
Somebody’s work bore joy and peace,
Surely his life will never cease,
Was that somebody you?
Was that somebody you?
