Joan Shelley - Everybody Lyrics

Joan Shelley Lyrics

"Everybody"

I've been waiting for a sound to take me out of my meanness
I've been leaning on a smile to bring me out of the dark
Because once I felt the shine
Once I felt divine
Wasn't mine

Now we're living by the road far from our little Eden
I'm afraid I gave away our little bit of freedom
'Cause we were pigs in mud
We were sparrow, key, and dove
We were love

There's no warmer you can wear to guard the soft, open body
There's no serum they can sell to soothe the rough burn of time

God, if I could guard you
Take your fire, burn me now
Is it allowed?
Allowed

Everybody
Joining
Everybody
We see what we wanna see
Everybody
Joining
Everybody
We hear what we wanna hear
