lyrics

eveyone’s trying
in their own way
turtle on it’s back
jack rabbit running down the track

everybody’s frightened
saying their own little prayer
before their own little shrine
eveyone’s trying
in their own way
the muslims and the jews
they all sing the blues

everybody’s carrying
carrying their own weight
I have to carry mine

gimme one open arm
baby give me two
I can't tell what I'm looking for
but I know you lost it too

eveyone’s trying
in their own way
the farmers and the miners
the graphic designers

everybody’s waiting
waiting for the universe to sing
and the planets to align

everyone’s trying
to start new day
to make it through the night
and wake up to a light that shines down
on their face
knowing everything is fine

gimme one loving arm
baby give me two
I can't tell what I'm looking for
but I know you want it too

gimme me some
lucky charm
something to hold on to
I can't tell what I'm looking for
but I know you've seen it too
