Everybody

So here I am dug in deep, got a hand on my gun
Losing sight of what's right and wrong
There's a feeling that I get when I look back and reflect
Maybe I've been on the wrong side all along
I act like God is on my side
Pretend my deeds are justified
But everybody knows the truth is hard to find
You know that everybody needs to get sanctified
I was in the field and I waved that banner
Played guitar in the band, joined the choir, sang tenor
Never questioned whether I was really doing God's work
I got straight, put on a button-up shirt
I didn't take the time to look for reason or for rhyme
With all the breath in my lungs I was screaming through the night
Have mercy on my soul Lord Jesus Christ

Everybody has gotta find some kind of saviour
Everybody has gotta spend some sleepless nights

And there are people on the street who ask me whether I've been saved
But to them I'm just a face among the crowd
They've got a message, call it love
But they spread a lot of hate to anybody that stands out
What are the gospels all about
Why is my faith wrapped up in doubt
If I could only place my hand where the spear pierced his side
I could know that my God is awake and alive
Blessed is the man that can take it on faith
Heard him calling in the night
Saw the stone rolled away
And when I look up in the mirror I think I see that man's face
But there's a darkness inside and I still got my chains
What does he do when I pray
These are the words that I say
Our Father in heaven hallowed be thy name
If you hear me please show me your will today

Everybody has gotta find some kind of saviour
Everybody has gotta spend some sleepless nights

Everybody, everybody
Everybody, everybody, woah
Listen up
I'm on the road to redemption

I'm a prisoner of hope
I got my eyes on the horizon
Every morning get to see the sun rising
Yes my hands are dirty but I'm gonna get em clean
I'm gonna be a better version of me
I got my regrets
There are things I wish I'd said
But every time I hear that voice it makes me wanna dream bigger
Next time I get a chance I'm gonna pull that trigger

Everybody has gotta find some kind of saviour
Everybody has gotta spend some sleepless nights
Everybody has gotta find some kind of saviour
Everybody has gotta spend some sleepless nights
Everybody has gotta find some kind of saviour
