For Them

For Them

You say “happy ones are best”

Some are sad and some confess

There are ones about love

Growing old, and oh death

But it seems everybody wants

The song to be sung just for them

There are ones about the road

The sickness of a heavy load

Ones that make you cry with friends

And ones that make you smile again

But it seems everybody wants

The song to be sung just for them

[bridge]

If I could sum up this whole world

In the span of just one verse

Then I could put this guitar down

And I could shed this writer’s curse

But it’s really not that easy

When you have a way with words

You say “happy ones are best”

But will they really stand the test

When they’re up against the issues

That the difficult address

‘Cos it seems everybody wants

The song to be sung just for them

It seems everybody wants

The song to be sung just for them
