Everyone needs to [Gm]breathe
Everyone needs [C]everything
that everybody [F]needs
Everyone needs [F]plants,
Everyone needs the [Gm]trees
Everyone needs a [C]chance
to be the best they can [F]be
Everyone needs [F]enough wisdom
to bring them to their [Gm]knees
and a higher [C]purpose
to get them back up on their [F]feet
Even though [F]we are each unique
Pretty much [Gm]everyone we meet
Pretty much [Dm]needs everything [C]we
Actually [F]need
Everyone needs a chance to rest
Everyone needs a chance to run
Everyone needs to do their best
On behalf of someone
Everyone needs medicine
Everyone needs a friend
Everyone needs attention
Every now and then
Everyone needs a father
Everyone needs a mother
Everybody needs to learn
To get along with one another
[Chorus]
Everyone needs to laugh
everyone needs to cry
Everyone needs to live
before they need to die
Everyone needs a leg up,
Everyone needs a hand to hold
Everyone needs a chance to be young
before they get old
Everyone needs joy, Everyone needs hope
Everyone needs to hang on tight,
when they get to the end of their rope
Everyone needs a place to be, even when they’re on the roam
Everyone needs some space, everyone needs a home
[Chorus]
Everyone needs water
Everyone needs the rain
Everybody's different
But mostly we're the same
Everyone needs respect
And sometimes some protection
Everyone needs to get
Some time for reflection
Everyone needs freedom
Everyone needs some help
And something to believe in
That’s bigger than themselves
[Chorus] think it over...
