Answer The Call

Testo

SOMEBODY NEEDS WHAT I CAN DO Original African Rooster song — Part 2: The Awakening [INTRO — SPOKEN, SOFT PIANO] Yesterday I was sitting in my car. Too tired to go inside. Thinking about the bills. Thinking about my children. Thinking about all the dreams I had put away. And then a question came into my mind... What if somewhere out there... Somebody needs something I can learn to do? [VERSE 1 — THE STRUGGLE] I've been working all my life, Trying hard to make things right. Giving everything I've got, Sometimes feeling I've been forgot. Every morning, same old road, Every evening, same old load. But somewhere deep inside of me, There's a man I used to dream I'd be. [PRE-CHORUS — HOPE] Maybe I don't need to know it all, Maybe I just need to answer the call. Maybe one new skill could be, The beginning of a change in me. [CHORUS — EMOTIONAL, REPEAT] Somebody needs what I can do, Somebody's waiting for somebody new. I may be tired, I may be slow, But there's still something I can learn and show. Somebody needs what I can do, Maybe that somebody is just like you. One little dream, one little plan, There's still a future for this tired man. [VERSE 2 — THE DISCOVERY] There's a barber down the street, Working hard upon his feet. Phone keeps ringing, day and night, Trying to keep his business right. There's a woman braiding hair, Customers calling everywhere. What if I could help them find, A little more peace and a little more time? A website that can talk all day, Answer questions while they're away. A simple service I could learn, A chance to build, a brand-new turn. [CHORUS — STRONGER] Somebody needs what I can do, Somebody's waiting for somebody new. I may be tired, I may be slow, But there's still something I can learn and show. Somebody needs what I can do, Maybe that somebody is just like you. One little dream, one little plan, There's still a future for this tired man. [VERSE 3 — THE FIRST STEP] I don't need to quit my job, I don't need to risk it all. I can start by learning something, Taking steps however small. I can build a little website, Teach it how to answer calls. Show a business what it's doing, See if it can help at all. Maybe someone sees the value, Maybe someone wants my help. Maybe I can build a service, Something I can call myself. [BRIDGE — VOICE BREAKING, THEN RISING] My children don't need perfect, They just need to see me try. They need to know their father's dreams, Were never meant to die. And even if I'm starting late, Even if the road is long, I still have a name worth building, I still have a voice and song. [FINAL CHORUS — FULL CHOIR] Somebody needs what I can do! Somebody's waiting for somebody new! I may be tired, but now I know, There's still a seed inside me that can grow! Somebody needs what I can do! Somebody's waiting, maybe it's you! One little dream, one little plan, I'm still becoming who I am! [OUTRO — SPOKEN] My friend... There are millions of people like you. And there are millions of small businesses trying to do more with less. You don't have to know everything. Learn one useful skill. Find one person you can help. Show them what you've learned. And keep building. Your name is not finished. Your dream is not finished. And your story... Is not over. Silent Lives. Loud Dreams. One person. One laptop. One AI.
