Everybody Needs Songtext
von Johnny Young

Everybody needs and everybody′s wondering
Could you please bring a little peace
Everybody's aching, everybody′s hoping
Could you please bring a little peace

Why, why do we cry
Why do we weep, so quick to anger
We laugh, laugh and scream at the machine
While the gears keep on turning
Grinding down on me

There once was a great man
Who sang only love could conquer hate
His father shot him down lying in his bed
And there once was a great man
Who sang all we need is love
He was shot in the back while trying to reach his home


Why, why do we cry
Why do we weep, so quick to anger
We laugh, laugh and scream at the machine
While the gears keep on turning
Grinding down on me

Everybody needs and everybody's wondering
Could you please, please bring a little peace
Everybody's aching, everybody′s hoping
That you could bring down here a little peace

Rain it down on us
Rain it down on the world
Rain it down on this country
In this place
Rain it down on us
Rain it down on the world
Rain it down on this country
In this place
