EVERYBODY’S FREE (by Shyam Kelly)

 Everybody knows everybody

Everybody’s the same

Everybody’s got a story

And everybody feels pain

Nobody wants to suffer

Nobody knows the truth

Everybody wants love

But nobody wants to lose

Nobody lives forever

We all have to die

But everybody wants to be somebody

So ask yourself why

Everybody knows somebody

So nobody has to be alone

I used to be somebody

I used to love being known

Nobody is better

We all bleed the same

The pawn and the king go back in the same box

Is life just a game

Everybody is lost

Nobody can see

I am nobody

I am somebody

I am you

And you are free
