Story Behind The Song

Donna observed that when she would share her current worries with friends, there was always something going on with them as well. On the outside, they may appear happy and worry-free, but everybody's got somethin'!

Song Description

We think we're the only one with problems, but everybody's got somethin' that worries them AND everybody's got somethin' to give to help get through life.

Lyrics

I used to yell at drivers who ignored traffic signs
Never thought about what worries might be on their minds
And if I saw a homeless man thought he didn't try enough
'Till my friend lost his job and came close to giving up... yeah

Everybody's got somethin'
That may be weighing their heart down
Everybody needs someone
To help turn their day around
On the outside you might see nothin'
But on the inside everybody's got something
Everybody's got somethin'

I went to visit Grandpa he didn't know who I was
But we talked about fishin' and his face just lit up
And my neighbor always worries 'cause his son's in the war
But he looks proud when reminded what his son's fightin' for

CHORUS
We all got something we don't wanna lose
We're all just tryin' to live
But life's full of chances for helpin' folks out
'Cause we all got somethin' to give

FINAL CHORUS

Everybody's got somethin'
That could lift someone's heart off the ground
Everybody needs someone
To help turn their day around
On the outside you might see nothin'
But on the inside everybody's got somethin' to give
