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 piles of stuff don't really matter
Everybody's going to end 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 gonna be graceful like a swan
Everybody's gonna be graceful like a swan
Diving deep into the dark, still pool of consciousness now
Everybody's going to be graceful from within

Everybody's going to sing their own song
Yeah, everybody's going to sing their own song
In the time we have left, no delaying, there's no calculating
'Cause everybody going to sing their own song

I 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 jail on a ship, in a hilltop house where the views are splendid
The undertaker has started to dance
