Everything Songtext
von John Legend

We lost our cars and our keys
With nowhere to go, with no place to be
News cameras everywhere and nothing left to see
We lost our kings, we lost our queens
They lost their castles, their compounds, and empires
And for what′s left, the prices are too high
And politicians are liars
I thought my life was pristine, that's what I understood pride
But not anymore, the mountains are on fire

Embers in the wind, the smoky views
I′ll never sleep where I once slept again
Lost my ceilings, lost my walls
Goddamn, I lost it all
But if I got you, I got everything

Yeah, I got everything
I got everything
I got everything
I got everything
(Whoo!)


God giveth and taketh away (taketh away)
No matter how much we fast and pray (fast and pray)
And just like the vapor turns to rain (turns to rain)
Some souls we lost will come back here again (again)
You're still shocked, you're still torn (still torn)
There was no alarm, there was no horn (no horn)
And while your place was lost in the storm (in the storm)
Somewhere else, a baby is being born
(Being born)

Embers in the wind, the smoky views
I′ll never sleep where I once slept again
Oh, I was living in a house of cards
Goddamn, I lost it all
But if I got you, yes, it means

That I got everything
I got everything
I got everything
Oh-oh, I got everything

(Whoo!)
I still got everything
