Everybody
Everybody tries to freeze time when they're called Everybody tries to squeeze time when they're called In those moments we have left no point in weighing those regrets Everybody's got to make time when they're called Everybody started out as a star Everybody started out as a star Now we're leaving all the chatter the pilеs of stuff don't really matter Everybody's going to еnd up in the sky Everybody should lay weapons down Everybody should lay weapons down Sticks and stones words and bombs Buried in the sodden ground Some people really must lay weapons down Everybody's going to be graceful like a swan Everybody's going to be graceful like a swan Diving deep into the dark still pool of consciousness Everybody's going to be graceful from within Everybody's going to sing their own song Everybody's going to sing their own song In the time we have left, no delaying there's no calculating Everybody going to sing their own song Letras de cancionesI find myself asking could I have done more I find myself asking should I have done more In a world that's heaving and sighing I dreamt I saw the statue of liberty crying And I ask myself ask myself could I have done more The four horsemen with sharp swords have arrived The kookaburra's gone quiet the debt collector smiles In a gaol on a ship in a hilltop house where the views are splendid The undertaker has started to dance From Letras Mania
