NO ONE IS A NOBODY (2:42)

1.
I'm lovable and capable and I know that you are, too.
I'm unique; there's only one me.
You're unique; there's only one you. In fact...

CHORUS:
No one is a nobody. Each person's important, you see.
Each one has rights and feelings and dreams;
What happens to you will change other lives, too.
No one is a nobody. Each person's important, you see.
Each one I meet as I walk down the street
is just as special as I am.

2.
Sometimes I don't feel too lovable, or very capable, either.
Then someone comes along and shows me that they care.
It reminds me that I do matter after all.
It's true that...

CHORUS:
No one is a nobody. Each person's important, you see.
Each one has rights and feelings and dreams;
What happens to you will change other lives, too.
No one is a nobody. Each person's important, you see.
Each one I meet as I walk down the street
is just as special as I am.

3.
Other times I forget about your rights,
And that you have feelings, too.
And the world doesn't spin for just me, it's true.
If I care for myself, I'll care for you. Because...

CHORUS:
No one is a nobody. Each person's important, you see.
Each one has rights and feelings and dreams;
What happens to you will change other lives, too.
No one is a nobody. Each person's important, you see.
Each one I meet as I walk down the street
is just as special as I am. (repeat last line and fade)


Think and Share Invitations
* Think and share about the ways in which we might treat other people differently if we imagined each person with a
sign on them or above their head saying "This person is special/important!"
* Think and share about how you feel when someone -- including yourself -- tells you that you are special/important.
*. What makes you unique, and what are some of your positive qualities?
