Lyrics
Hey you, back against the wall
Wondering if the world'll fall apart
Hey you, crying in your drink
Looking for an answer, just open your heart
You can find it anywhere
You can find it anywhere
You can find it anywhere
You can find it anywhere
You can find it anywhere
Sing, it's your favorite song
When you're singing along nothing is wrong
Everybody just sing for the people who can't
It'll help them survive, we are free and alive
Everybody just sing
Hey girl, what's the matter now?
Feeling like each day it's something else
Hey you, wading in the shallow
Looking for a reason, found it in yourself
You can find it anywhere
You can find it anywhere
You can find it anywhere
You can find it anywhere
You can find it anywhere
Sing, it's your favorite song
When you're singing along nothing is wrong
Everybody just sing for the people who can't
It'll help them survive, we are free and alive
Everybody just sing
I'm gonna sing la, la, la, la, la
Come on sing with me la, la, la, la, la
Come on guys la, la, la, la, la

You can find it anywhere
You can find it anywhere
You can find it anywhere
You can find it anywhere
You can find it anywhere
You can find it anywhere
You can find it anywhere
Sing, it's your favorite song
When you're singing along nothing is wrong
Everybody just sing for the people who can't
It'll help them survive, we are free and alive
Everybody just sing, it's the secret revealed
If you wanna get real, if you wanna feel
Everybody just sing for the people who can't
It'll help them survive, it'll keep 'em alive
Everybody just sing
Come on and sing
Wondering if the world'll fall apart
Hey you, crying in your drink
Looking for an answer, just open your heart
You can find it anywhere
You can find it anywhere
You can find it anywhere
You can find it anywhere
You can find it anywhere
Sing, it's your favorite song
When you're singing along nothing is wrong
