Nikka Costa Everybody Got Their Something lyrics

My face to the sky
Dreaming about just how high
I could go and I'll know
When I finally get there

Taking off my glasses
Sun pokes through my lashes
And somehow I know
There's a time for every star to shine

Everybody got their something
Make you smile like an itty bitty child
Everybody got their something
Everybody got their something

People keeping score
So better hurry up and get yours
'Cause somebody else got 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
Make you smile like an itty bitty child
Everybody got their something
Everybody got their something


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
Everybody got their something
Everybody got their something

Everybody got their something
Everybody got their something
Make you smile like an itty bitty child
Everybody got their something
Everybody got their something

There's a time for every star
There's a time for every star
There's a time for every star
There's a time for every star

There's a time for every star
There's a time for every star
There's a time for every star
There's a time for every star
