Needtobreathe's song 'Everybody' reflects on the struggle of feeling inadequate and losing sight of God's purpose. The narrator admits to getting caught up in personal dreams and complaints, yet acknowledges that God alone truly knows them and remains in control. The repeated refrain 'It's all right here' suggests that God's presence and guidance are always available, even when unseen. The song encourages trust and surrender, recognizing that human understanding is limited but God's faithfulness is constant.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Every little thing I do
Just seem to get in the way
Of what you want from me
A get caught up in all my dreaming
Keep forgetting that I'm leaving
Just to where that you want me
And I don't know
And I can't see
Just why that I should be here
And I complain
When I disagree
You're the only one who knows me
Everybody only sees
Everybody else but me
Everybody doesn't know that
It's all right here
It don't matter what I know
Take a minute let 'em show me
It's all right here
Every single time I start
To get ahead of myself
I lose sight of where I am
Somehow you always keep on proving
That somewhere through me you are moving
And that you are in control
And I don't know
And I can't see
Just why that I should be here
And I complain
When I disagree
You're the only one who knows me
Everybody only sees
Everybody else but me
Everybody doesn't know that
It's all right here
It don't matter what I know
Take a minute let 'em show me
And I don't know
And I can't see
Just why that I should be here
And I complain
When I disagree
You're the only one who knows me
Everybody only sees
Everybody else but me
Everybody doesn't know that
It's all right here
It don't matter what I know
Take a minute let 'em show me
Everybody only sees
Everybody else but me
Everybody doesn't know that
It's all right here
It don't matter what I know
Take a minute let 'em show me
(Everybody, yeah yeah)
(Everybody, yeah yeah)
(Everybody doesn't know that)
(It's all right here)
(Everybody, yeah yeah)
(Everybody, yeah yeah)
It's all right here!
