EVERYBODY'S GOT


EVERYBODY'S GOT


Everybody's got sunsets to see.
Everybody's got places they want to be.
Everybody's got mountains to climb.
Everybody's got memories of a different time.

Everybody's got love in their life.
Everybody's got loves that didn't go right.
Everybody's got times when they see nothing but rain.
Everybody's got times when they have nothing but pain.

Everybody's got things they have to do on the run.
Everybody's got things they like to do for fun.
Everybody's got a place where no one else has ever been.
Everybody's got things that are just for them.

Everybody's got a place that's dark and full of fright.
Everybody's got a place that's bright and full of light.
Everybody's got things that they have lost along the way.
Everybody's got things that were bad so they threw them away.

Everybody's got things that they do best.
Everybody's got things that will put them to the test.
Everybody's got something that they feel strongly about.
Everybody's got something that makes them shout.

Everybody's got something they want to hide.
Everybody's got something they like to ride.
Everybody's got a song they like to sing.
Everybody's got something good that they can bring.

Everybody's got times when they feel sad.
Everybody's got times when they feel glad.
Everybody's got battles they have to fight.
Everybody's got friends that are really tight.

Everybody's got times when they laugh and have fun.
Everybody's got times when their work is all done.
Everybody's got all these things and I do too.
Everybody doesn’t have what I have, because I have you.
