Everybody Lyrics by Peter Garrett

The True North

2024

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 pilеs of stuff don't really matter
Everybody's going to еnd 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 going to be graceful like a swan
Everybody's going to be graceful like a swan
Diving deep into the dark still pool of consciousness
Everybody's going to be graceful from within

Everybody's going to sing their own song
Everybody's going to sing their own song
In the time we have left, no delaying there's no calculating
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 gaol on a ship in a hilltop house where the views are splendid
The undertaker has started to dance
