Every Little Thing Lyrics

Everything must change
There's a mirror showing me the ugly truth
These bones they ache with holy fire
But I've got nothing to give, just a life to live
If your world is without colour
I will carry you, if you carry me

Every little thing's gonna be alright
Every little thing's gonna be alright
(2x)

There's no-one else to blame
I live my life between the fire and the flame
I've built my house where the ocean meets the land
It's time live again, pull my dreams out of the sand
Let your world be full of colour
I will carry you, if you carry me

Every little thing's gonna be alright
Every little thing's gonna be alright
(2x)

When it's all falling down on you
Your're crying out but you're breaking in two
When it's all crashing down on you
When there's nothing you can do
There is someone who can carry you

Every little thing's gonna be alright
Every little thing's gonna be alright
(2x)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song always makes me think of a very precious friend who has severe depression. She's not a Christian, and just has no hope. So often she feels like there's nowhere to turn -" When it's all falling down on you Your're crying out but you're breaking in two" And this song just makes me want to pray that 'every little thing's gonna be alright'. I know it will. Someday she won't be afraid or trapped - she'll be loved and safe and she'll know it. But til then I've got to try and carry her like she's carried me in the past.

Reminds me of one of my friends too! She's had depression and she self harms and has tried to commit suicide and she is so against God. I pray for her so much, and one day God will move, I am sure. I won't give up hope.

This song is so true. Every little thing WILL be alright. God is carrying us.
