Wrote a Song for Everyone Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Met myself a-coming county welfare line
I was feeling strung out, hung out on the line
Saw myself a-going down to war in June
All I want, all I want is to write myself a tune
[Chorus]
Wrote a song for everyone, wrote a song for truth
Wrote a song for everyone and I couldn’t even talk to you
[Verse 2]
Got myself arrested, wound me up in jail
Richmond ’bout to blow up, communication failed
If you see the answer, now’s the time to say
All I want, all I want is to get you down to pray
[Chorus]
Wrote a song for everyone, wrote a song for truth
Wrote a song for everyone and I couldn’t even talk to you
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Wrote a song for everyone, wrote a song for truth
Wrote a song for everyone and I couldn’t even talk to you
[Verse 3]
Saw the people standing thousand years in chains
Somebody said it’s different now, look, it’s just the same
Pharaohs spin the message ’round and ’round the truth
They could have saved a million people, how can I tell you?
[Chorus]
Wrote a song for everyone, wrote a song for truth
Wrote a song for everyone and I couldn’t even talk to you
Wrote a song for everyone, wrote a song for truth
Wrote a song for everyone and I couldn’t even talk to you
Wrote a song for everyone, wrote a song for truth
Wrote a song for everyone and I couldn’t even talk to you
