EVERYBODY HAS A HEART
Everybody has a heart, everybody feels some pain,
Everybody sees the need, and sometimes we turn away,
Nobody wants to bear the burden; nobody wants to take the blame,
Nobody, oh, nobody, and… it's a shame…
Everybody needs a voice; everybody has something to say,
Everybody thinks there's a choice; sometimes it all sounds the same,
Nobody wants to be the one; nobody wants to touch the flame,
Nobody, oh, nobody and… it's a shame…
But how long, can we be indifferent?
And how far, can we watch each other fall?
And how hard, can we make each other cry; watch each other crawl, watch each other die… ah somebody… anybody…
If somebody showed compassion, if anybody took time to care,
Then everybody would see the difference,
And nobody would live in fear,
Cause everybody's searching for someone,
Everybody needs to be loved
Everybody needs, everybody else, anybody… oh
And how long, will it take for us to turn around?
And how hard, does it really have to be?
And how loud, must our voices be for all to hear,
To change hearts, share dreams, it's got to start with you and me…
Oh somebody… anybody… oh
Everybody has a heart, everybody feels some pain,
Everybody sees the need, and sometimes we turn away,
And it's a shame…
