Everything
Myron Butler & Levi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tell me why do you search for happiness
In material things
When they are only temporary
Tell me why do put your trust in man
Time and time again
When they will always let you down

If you just open your eyes
You'll see that i am standing here for you
And I only offer all the very best for you

I've got everything that you could need and more
I've got what your looking for
Oh...
I've got everything that you could need and more
I've got what your looking for

Tell me why do you run and hide
Keeping all th pain inside
When I am here to wipe your tears
Tell me who's gonna love you trully, unconditionally
And be faithful through the years

If you just open your eyes
You'll see that i am standing here for you
And I only offer all the very best for you

I've got everything that you could need and more
I've got what your looking for
Oh...
I've got everything that you could need and more
I've got what your looking for

I've always been standing here with open arms
Here to keep you safe from harm
Just run to me
I'll be your shelter from the rain
If you fall I'll pick you up again
Just let me be your everything, everything

I've got everything that you could need and more
I've got what your looking for
Oh...
I've got everything that you could need and more
I've got what your looking for
