Lea Salonga - He's Got To Be Someone Lyrics






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...

    Same here, I also requested for this song as well as This Is What I Dreamed. Wish they will have this on Broadway and get her to play Oona. Goosebumps all over, so beautiful song with the most beautiful voice ever.

    well what else? perfection... no less.

  10. b.... ....

    @ovitatirac ...I know what you mean... it's inevitable, though, how people must age... but then again... she's aging like fine wine... I still love her completely... hehehe! and I love the way she still reserves her belt for the class-A occasions even at 39...

    b.... ....

    I totally agree. Even at her age, she still maintains that perfection in her singing. Her voice is evergreen. Although yes there are signs of lower register compared to the original version, but then she still has that girly-like voice oozing here and there, spurting those thin timbre belts. I remember how Ryan Cayabyab described her voice, "she has this thick and thin timbre not most singers have". Just pure excellence and crystal clear.

  11. o.... ....

    lea's voice have matured, became bigger. that's inevitable of course. and i notice she know sings w/ fierceness in her renditions... i just miss the lea i once knew, the sweet, pretty angel-like tone that made her famous...compare this song video to her earlier rendition of the same song you'll know what i mean.

  12. M.... I....

    Great personality = )

  13. a.... ....

  14. I.... ....
