Everybody's Got Something - Mary Chapin Carpenter

Everybody’s got something, babe

Everybody’s dreams will someday fade

Some are wishing they were someone else

Some just want to be by themselves

Some are trying to tear it down

Some are shaky on solid ground

Some confuse guilt and blame

They can’t admit when they feel ashamed

You’re not the first, you’re not the last

It could be worse, this will pass

I know you hurt, you hurt so bad

But a light comes shining to stitch and mend

One day you’ll find you’re you again

It takes some time

Some are watching the enemy

Surprise kid, it’s you and me

Some keep shouting and no one hears

While the fires burn and the birds disappear

Some are yearning for something real

Saying they know just how I feel

Some are waiting for a sign

Some keep praying it comes in time

I’m not the first, I’m not the last

It could be worse, this will pass

You know it hurts, it hurts so bad

But a light comes shining to stitch and mend

Someday I’ll feel like myself again

It takes some time

Some are dying to be loved

Some are hiding what they’re frightened of

Some will breach every vow

Some will always feel lost somehow

Some are trying the best they know

Before it’s over and time to go

So save the judging for another day

Everybody’s got something, babe

Everybody’s got something, babe

Everybody’s got something, babe

Everybody’s got something, babe

Everybody’s got something, babe
