We’re all hoping, we’re all hopeless
We’re all thorns and we’re all roses
We’re all looking down our noses at ourselves
We’re all flawed and we’re all perfect
We’re all lost and we’re all hurting
And just searching for somebody to love

We’re all liars, we’re all legends
We’re all tens that want elevens
We’re all trying to get to heaven, but not today
We’re all happy, we’re all hatin’
We’re all patiently impatient
And just waiting for somebody to love

We’re all good, but we ain’t angels
We all sin, but we ain’t devils
We’re all pots and we’re all kettles
But we can’t see it in ourselves
We’re all livin’ ’til we’re dying
We ain’t cool, but man, we’re trying
Just thinking we’ll be fixed by someone else

We all wrangle with religion
We all talk, but we don’t listen
We’re all starving for attention then we’ll run
We’re all paper, we’re all scissors
We’re all fightin’ with our mirrors
Scared we’ll never find somebody to love

We’re all good, but we ain’t angels
We all sin, but we ain’t devils
We’re all pots and we’re all kettles
But we can’t see it in ourselves
We’re all livin’ ’til we’re dying
We ain’t cool, but man, we’re trying
Thinking we’ll be fixed by someone else

Just tryin’ to hold it all together
We all wish our best was better
Just hopin’ that forever’s really real
We’ll miss a dime to grab a nickel
Over-complicate the simple
We’re all little kids just looking for love
Yeah, don’t we all just want somebody to love?

the change

One hand reaches out
And pulls a lost soul from harm
While a thousand more go unspoken for
And they say “what good have you done
By saving just this one?”
It’s like whispering a prayer
In the fury of a storm

And I hear them saying “you’ll never change things
And no matter what you do it’s still the same thing”
But it’s not the world that I am changing
I do this so this world will know
That it will not change me

This heart still believes
That love and mercy still exist
While all the hatreds rage
And so many say
That love is all but pointless in madness such as this
It’s like trying to stop a fire
With the moisture from a kiss

And I hear them saying “you’ll never change things
And no matter what you do it’s still the same thing”
But it’s not the world that I am changing
I do this so this world will know
That it will not change me

As long as one heart still holds on
Then hope is never really gone

I hear them saying “you’ll never change things
And no matter what you do it’s still the same thing”
But it’s not the world that I am changing
I do this so this world we know
Never changes me

What I do is so
This world will know
That it will not change me

I was at a party
And this fella said to me
“Something bad is happening,
I’m sure you do agree.
People care for nothing,
No respect for human rights.
Evil times are coming,
We are in for darker nights.”

I said “who are you
To talk about impending doom?”
He got kinda wary
As he looked around the room
He said, “I’m a minister,
A big shot in the state.”
I said “I just can’t believe it,
Boy, I think it’s great.
Brother, can you tell me
What is right and what is wrong?”
He said, “keep on rocking baby
‘Til the night is gone”

On and on and on
Keep on rocking baby
‘Til the night is gone
On and on and on
‘Til the night is gone

On and on and on
Keep on rocking baby
‘Til the night is gone
On and on and on
‘Til the night is gone

Over in the corner,
I could see this other guy.
He was kinda flirty
He was giving me the eye
So I took advantage
Of the fact that I’m a star
Shook my hair and took
A casual stroll up to the bar
And as sure as hell
This guy was coming up to me
He said, “who am I and
Who are you and who are we?
What’s our situation do
We have some time for us?”
I said, I was not exactly
Waiting for the bus
He said, “if you’re going
Somewhere can I come along?”
I said, “keep on rocking baby
‘Til the night is gone”

On and on and on
Keep on rocking baby
‘Til the night is gone
On and on and on
‘Til the night is gone

On and on and on
Keep on rocking baby
‘Til the night is gone
On and on and on
‘Til the night is gone

On and on and on
Keep on rocking baby
‘Til the night is gone
On and on and on
‘Til the night is gone

On and on and on
Keep on rocking baby
‘Til the night is gone
