Everybody Needs Love

Every day seein people just goin their own way

Don't even care about people around them

Well man, I just ain't gonna be like that

Just gonna try and be everybody's friend



Don't care what people think about it

Cause you can be nice to them too

Have an open heart for new friends

Just be yourself and don't be nothin else



Yeah don't get thinkin you're better

Than everybody else

Cause man, we're all in this together

Yeah man, you're just hurtin yourself



Everybody needs someone to lead on

Everybody needs a helpin hand

Everybody needs someone to love

I know everybodys lookin for a friend



Everybody ain't out to get you

Too superstitious for your own good

I guess I ain't gonna change your mind

Your the only one who ever could



Every day seein people just goin their own way

Don't even care about people around them

Well man, I just ain't gonna be like that

Just gonna try and be everybody's friend



Just tryin to be nice to everyone

Tryin to understand what's goin on

Cause we've all had our problems

Man, that's just the way life is



So just give a little love

Give someone a helpin hand

Cause man we're all in this together

So just help each other the best we can



Everybody needs someone

Everybody needs a hand

Everybody needs a little love

Try bein the best you can



Don't get ahead of yourself,

And forget the people who love you.

Don't think your in this without help,

Someone knows what you're goin through.



Just look on the sunny side of life,

Its something thats always there.

People who don't know it are blind,

They're just lookin too hard to care.



So go ahead and love somebody

Go ahead and lend a helpin hand

Go ahead and love somebody

It ain't too late to be somebody's best friend

Author's Notes/Comments: 

this song...i wrote lookin back on life and just kind of wonderin y'know...everything i been through y'all, i mean, if you ain't got love, you ain't nothin...there's a song says love is blind, well man, lust is blind...love ain't ever blind, remember that. next time you see people, man just keep an open mind and don't stay thinkin you're always right, just have an open heart and just be nice to everybody and have a good heart...love everybody man, it'll really improve your life, don't think everybody is out to get you cause they ain't...just love people, and love yourself...in the bible it says the two most important things are to love the Lord and to love each other...its all about love man, it ain't power and death and all that junk...hopefully out of all of my rambling, somebody gets something out of this (i haven't revised this poem so y'all know, i wrote it while i was on the site in about 10 minutes so its rough...but i like it) everybody needs love.
