Everybody's going, going through something
No one has this life all figured out
Everybody's tired of feeling alone here
I'm just desperate enough to shout it out
Mercy was just a girl with the world on a string
With straight A's and high praise, such a pure seventeen
Until one day, the birds and the bees change her history
Pablo just lost his dad to the unnatural grave
Now his hero is gone and it's his time to save
Can he be what his family needs him to be?
Sarah's husband is gone, now she's pushing back debt
With a job and three kids, there's no time for regret
In the land of the free she just clings to survival
John is back off the track, now he's high off his train
As his friends and his family are praying for rain
Looks like only a breakdown can lead to revival
Everybody's going, going through something
No one has this life all figured out
Everybody's tired of feeling alone here
I'm just desperate enough to shout it out
Nicky fights with disease while he sings for the choir
All the voices around him say that he's admired
For a strength that most day's he'd trade to be well, now
Sally Loo's at the church with a smile on her face
No one knows that she feels like she's falling from grace
They can't see all the demons making life hell now
Everybody's going, going through something
No one has this life all figured out
Everybody's tired of feeling alone here
I'm just desperate enough to shout it out
David's down on his luck, now he's begging for change
As I walked by I realized that we were the same
We all start out, naked and crying for love
I know everyone here can contribute a verse
These are cards that we're dealt, for better or worse
Now it's time, that we look around and above
Everybody's going, going through something
No one has this life all figured out
There's no need for us to feel alone here
I'm just desperate enough to shout it out
