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
