Everybody Got Their Something - Nikka Costa

My face to the sky

Dreaming about just how high

I could go and I’ll know

When I finally get there

Taking of my glasses

Sun pokes through my lashes

And somehow I know

There’s a time for every star to shine

Everybody got their something

Everybody got their something

Make you smile like an itty bitty child

People keeping score

Say better hurry up and get yours

Cause somebody else get your spot

Before you even dropped

Seek and you shall find

Everything in my own sweet time

I’ll take my chances

With what I believe is only mine

Busy holding on

So the roof don’t fly

Keep you from moving on

So get it right

Turn the tide over

Like a love song

Like a butterfly

Believe if you hand it over

You’ll come out all right

Everybody got their something

Everybody got their something

Make you smile like an itty bitty child

Illuminate the silly things

Shed some light on all that’s wrong

Everybody need it sometime

Sometimes the only thing you got

Is what makes you feel like

You’re something else altogether

You have everything don’t need

Another reason to be something

I’ve been on a ride

And caught up in the landslide

But I’m gonna spread my wings and fly…

Everybody got their something

Everybody got their something

Make you smile like an itty bitty child

There’s a time for every star

There’s a time for every star…
