Everything Lyrics by John Legend
We lost our cars and our keys
With nowhere to go, with no place to be
News cameras everywhere and nothing left to see
We lost our kings, we lost our queens
They lost their castles, their compounds, and empires
And for what’s left, the prices are too high and the politicians are liars
I thought my life was pristine, that’s what I understood prior
But not anymore, the mountains are on fire
Embers in the wind, the smoky views
I’ll never sleep where I once slept again
Lost my ceilings, lost my walls, goddamn, I lost it all
But if I got you, I got everything
Yeah, I got everything
I got everything
I got everything
I got everything
Woo
God giveth and taketh away (Take away)
No matter how much we fast and pray (Fast and pray)
And just like the vapor turns to rain (Turns to rain)
Some souls we lost will come back here again (Again)
You’re still shocked, you’re still torn (Still torn)
There was no alarm, there was no horn (No horn)
And while your place was lost in the storm (In the storm)
Somewhere else, a baby is being born (Being born)
Embers in the wind, the smoky views
I’ll never sleep where I once slept again
Oh, I was living in a house of cards, goddamn, I lost it all
But if I got you, yes, it means
That I got everything
I got everything
I got everything
Oh, I got everything
Woo
I’ve still got everything
