Everyone Watched The Wedding
::Intro::
- - - -
::Verse #1::
Sisterâs got her baby now and Iâm glad for what she did
But her older oneâs in trouble, man I really love that kid
Maybe he could live here, for us it would be nice
He needs some time to grow up, needs a father in his life
::Verse #2::
Me I guess Iâm lucky, mine have almost grown
Itâs amazing what they turn into from a seed that we have sown
I remember nights just lying there, worrying a while
I look across the room now, and I see them and I smile
::Verse #3::
All we ever want at nightâs our families to be safe
So we hold their hands and pick them up until they take their place
We know that thereâs no promises, no no guarantees
So we pray and pray and pray at night whatever will be will be
::Pre-Chorus::
Oh look at it coming down, making a mess of this whole town
And I think that I know why
::Chorus::
Everyone watched the wedding, two people in love
Two people whose blessing comes from higher up above
Theyâre not like you and me, they were destined to be
Oh everyone watched the wedding, couldnât get enough
At least for one moment we were right there up above
Looking down on all the royal fuss Monday we were back upon the bus
Driving through the neighbourhoods and factories that are us
That one day, hope was all that we could see
And they looked so beautiful to me
Hope was all that we could see
And they looked so beautiful to me
::Interlude::

::Verse #4::
Oh sister I am tapped out, this month is really bad
Can you hold on through May and then Iâll give you what I have
Everything is going up, business going down
Iâve been through this so many times it always comes around
::Verse #5::
My brother heâs a charmer, a snake with a silver tongue
Sometimes he up and disappears and we donât know where heâs gone
My mother sheâs a fighter, always made her way
She canât believe she worries about us all to this day
::Verse #6::
Me I just keep going, guess that Iâll be fine
But I canât believe I keep my head above the waterline
Some people round here want to get rich and run away
Thatâs not for me no, Iâve got so many reasons to stay
::Pre-Chorus::
Oh look at it coming down, making a mess of this damn town
And I think that I know why
::Chorus::
Everyone watched the wedding, two people in love
Two people whose blessing comes from higher up above
Theyâre not like you and me, they were destined to be
Oh everyone watched the wedding, couldnât get enough
At least for one moment we were right there up above
Looking down on all the royal fuss Monday we were back upon the bus
Driving through the neighbourhoods and factories that are us
That knowing all our lives will never be
But they looked so beautiful to me
All our lives will never be
But they looked so beautiful to me
::Outro::
