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
