Everybody Out There Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hey, everybody out there
You know what it's like
If you haven't got a life
When you haven't got a life

Hey, do you wanna make a difference?
Well, stand in the line
If you haven't got the time
I can give you some of mine

[Chorus]
There but for the grace of God go you and I
We're the brightest objects in the sky
There but for the grace of God go you and I
Do some good before you say goodbye

[Verse 2]
Hey, I was trying to remember
How bad it was then
When you didn't have a friend
When you didn't have a friend

Hey, everybody out there (Oh)
Everybody out there
Hey, everybody out there (Oh)
[Chorus]
There but for the grace of God go you and I
We're the brightest objects in the sky
Remember, there but for the grace of God go you and I
Do some good before you say goodbye

[Outro]
Hey, everybody out there
Oh, talk to me
I can't hear you
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah
Hey, everybody out there
I know what it's like
I know what it's like
Everybody out there
I can't hear you, I can't hear you
Everybody out there

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

This song with its simple and shoutable chorus of OH’s was made for live performance! Paul even chose to name his 2013 to 2015 world tour in promotion of his album NEW “Out There,” presumably after the song. However, because audiences were unlikely to know the song, it was hard to get the necessary audience participation that the song deserved. Likely for this reason, the song was only played in a handful of shows on the Out There tour and was dropped from the setlist of subsequent tours.
