EVERYBODY BLEEDS
© Michael Carey
Sweet Jean—Beauty queen
Her star is shining bright
Other girls—fantasize
‘N wish that they could live her life
They don’t see the emptiness
She faces every night
All alone…
Everybody bleeds
When they are broken
Everybody needs
A little hope and
Everyone’s just trying to find
A place within the grand design
Sometimes it will bring you to your knees
And everybody bleeds
No cares—a billionaire
He’s got it made, it’s understood
He’s got it all—any man
Would trade places if they could
They don’t see the family
He abandoned on the
He feels the pain—every day
Everybody bleeds
When they are broken
Everybody feels
That they’re alone and
Everyone’s just trying to find
Where they fit into space and time
Doesn’t matter what you may believe
Everybody bleeds
Everybody bleeds…
Everybody bleeds…
Everyone’s just trying to find
Their place within this grand design
Sometimes it will bring you to your knees…
Everybody bleeds
When they are broken
Everybody needs
A little hope and…
Everyone’s just trying to find
An open heart—a word that's kind
Sometimes it will lift you from your knees…
Cause we all rise again—now can’t you see
Everybody bleeds
