Somebody's watching, somebody's watching
Somebody's watching, somebody's watching
Somebody's watching, somebody's watching you

Have you ever seen a smile across the sky
Spreading love throughout the world telling us why
Reasons sometime make it seem that it's untrue
But the first steps you will make, it's up to you
While we live our life each day, it seems to say
The answers are not far, not far away

Somebody loves you, somebody cares
(Somebody's watching, somebody's watching you)
(Somebody's watching, somebody's watching you)
Somebody's watching, can't you feel it in the air
(Somebody's watching)
What the future holds, we'll just have to see
(Somebody's watching, somebody's watching you)
(Somebody's watching, somebody's watching you)
Somebody's watching you and me, mm-hmm

Somebody's watching, somebody's watching you
(Yeah, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh...)
Somebody's watching, somebody's watching you
Somebody's watching, somebody's watching you
(Watching)

We will someday see ourselves the mystery
Of what the future holds for you and me

Somebody loves you, somebody cares
Somebody's watching, can't you feel it in the air
Everything in my heart's at its own pace, yeah
(Somebody's watching, somebody's watching you)
(Somebody's watching, somebody's watching you)
Somebody's watching the human race, uh-huh

Somebody's watching, somebody's watching you
(Watching)
Somebody's watching, somebody's watching you
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Somebody's watching, somebody's watching you

Those of you who don't understand, I'll make it clear
You are part of the Master's plans, that's why you're here

Somebody loves you, somebody cares
Somebody's watching, can't you feel it in the air
And there's an answer to the question that you seek
(Somebody's watching, somebody's watching you)
(Somebody's watching, somebody's watching you)
Yeah, somebody's watching you and me, mm-hmm

Somebody loves you, somebody cares
Somebody's watching, it's in the air

Somebody's watching, somebody's watching
Somebody's watching, somebody's watching
(Somebody cares)
Somebody's watching, somebody's watching you
(Somebody's watching, can't you feel it in the air)

Somebody's watching, somebody's watching
Somebody's watching, somebody's watching
Somebody's watching, somebody's watching you...
