Lyrics
EVERYBODY'S HANGIN' ON
words & music by Grayson Hugh
We don't have it half so bad
we don't have to worry
just livin' on the planet
always in such a hurry
Everybody on the streets
in this big family
everybody that you meet
has got the same destiny
Everybody's hangin' on, hey baby
Everybody's hangin' on
Everybody's hangin' on, hey baby
Everybody's hangin' on
They keep on makin' us
new promises to break
right or wrong, it can't go on
there won't be nothin' left to take
Look at what's been happening
there just ain't no excuse
mother earth is suffering
from all the years of our abuse
Everybody's hangin' on, hey baby
Everybody's hangin' on
Everybody's hangin' on, hey baby
Everybody's hangin' on
Can't you see the eyes
of your sister & your brother?
Can't you see the soul behind the face?
We should be lookin' out
for one another
'cause all of us are sharing
the same time & space
Baby, I know, I know
the world is gettin' smaller
and we don't have much time to spare
what we end up doin' today
tomorrow might be too late to care
Rich people of the world
would you stand in the poor man's shoes?
spend your fortunes fearlessly
'cause we've all got way too much to lose
Everybody's hangin' on, hey baby
Everybody's hangin' on
Everybody's hangin' on, hey baby
Everybody's hangin' on
