Everyday People
by Eric Champion

Album: Eric Champion

Everyday, everyday people

If we don't tell them
If we don't tell them
Everyday people

We pass them by everyday
People hurting from inside
You can see it in their eyes
Another day, another waste
They don't know what their life is for
You can see it in their face
And we the children of the light
Hide our candles in the dark
As we walk right through the night
They're reaching out in desperation
But we act like we don't care
With our noses in the air

Oh, don't go on
Living in your stained glass windows
Hoping someone else will take care
Of the everyday people
That are right outside your door

If we don't tell them
Tell me who will take the blame, uh-huh
If they don't make it
Tell me who will feel the shame
Why keep it a secret
You've got something you should tell
To the everyday people
Living in their everyday hell, oh...

That transparent mask they wear
Hides a voice down deep inside
Crying for someone to care
They can search earth's end
For life, love and reason
But they may never know
If you refuse to see them
We've got the answer that they need
Why are we afraid to share
What is sure to set them free
If God's is the voice you hear
Then you know He's on our side
And there's nothing we should fear

Oh, don't go on
Living in your stained glass windows
Hoping someone else will take care
Of the everyday people
That are right outside your door

If we don't tell them
Tell me who will take the blame
If they don't make it
Tell me who will feel the shame
I don't want to feel the shame
Why keep it a secret
You've got something you should tell
To the everyday people
Living in their everyday hell, oh...

And we the children of the light
Hide our candles in the dark
As we walk right through the night
We've got the answer that they need
Why are we afraid to share
What is sure to set them free

Our Father, which art in Heaven
Hallowed be Thy name
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be come
In Earth as it is in Heaven
Give us this day, our daily bread
And forgive us our debts
As we forgive our debtors
And lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil

If we don't make it
If we don't tell them

Oh, don't go on
Living in your stained glass windows
Hoping someone else will take care
Of the everyday people
Right outside your door

Oh, don't go on
Living in your stained glass windows
Hoping someone else will take care
(Someone's gonna take care)
Of the everyday people
Right outside your door

Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa, don't go on
Living in your stained glass windows
Hoping someone else will take care
Of the everyday people
That are right outside your door

If we don't tell them
Tell me who will take the blame
Take the blame
If they don't make it
Tell me who will feel the shame
I don't want to feel the shame
Why keep it a secret
You've got something you should tell
To the everyday people
Living in their everyday hell

If we don't tell them
Tell me who will take the blame
If they don't make it
Tell me who will feel the shame
Don't want to feel the shame
Why keep it a secret
You've got something you should tell
Something you should tell
To the everyday people
Living in their everyday hell

If we don't tell them
Oh, I gotta tell them
If we don't make it

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah...
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah...
