Everybody Sees the Drama
by Robert Ramage
Intro
Everybody’s watching
Everybody knows our name
Standing in the spotlight
While they’re pointing blame
---
Verse 1
Everybody knows our problems
Everybody knows the truth
Everybody sees the damage
But they don’t know the truth what we’ve been going through
Everybody sees the drama
Everybody’s holding their breath
Waiting to see if we make it
Or choke on the weight of this mess
---
Chorus 1 (Defiant)
Everybody seems to know our problems
But I don’t think they really care
They talk like they’ve got the answers
From the safety of their chair
We’re still standing in the fire
Still breathing through the doubt
If this world wants to judge us
Then don't count us out
---
Verse 2
Everybody knows our story
But they only know our hearts
Everybody fights the same battles
Everybody’s got their scars
Waiting on the answers
Still holding on to what’s real
Trying not to lose our footing
Trying not to lose the game we've played for so many years
---
Chorus 2 (Answered Prayer / Smooth)
So let’s get our act together
Try to make a brand-new start
We don’t hold all the answers
But we’re listening to our hearts
Whether it’s with you or without you
Only God knows what’s true
Was the damage here to break us
Or to lead us back to what we feel in our hearts
---
Verse 3
Everybody sees the dilemma
Everybody knows half the facts
The drama you put him through
Never once broke his back
Only made him stronger
Just to live another day
Nobody wants to see the pain
That you carried all this way
---
Bridge (Shinedown-style Build)
Wake up, find a reason
Lift your eyes above the fear
The answers that we’re searching for
Have been whispering right here
Faith don’t need a headline
Hope don’t need a sound
Sometimes heaven moves
When we finally break down
---
Final Chorus (Blended – Power + Grace)
Everybody seems to know our problems
But God knows what we’ve been through
We don’t have all the answers
But we’re trusting something true
If the damage was meant to break us
It would’ve done it by now
So we’re standing in the ashes
Learning how to bow
---
Outro
Everybody sees the drama
But they don’t see who we’ve become
If we make it through this fire
We’ll know where the strength came from
