This heartfelt piano ballad finds Chris Martin singing of how us humans all share the same feelings and face similar struggles in everyday life. 'Cause everyone hurts Everyone cries Everyone sees the color in each other's eyes Everyone loves Everybody gets their hearts ripped out The first two lines are an interpolation of R.E.M.'s "Everybody Hurts."
Martin also talks about how because we're all part of the same big family we need to see each other as brothers, not enemies. How in the world I am going to see? You as my brother ...Not my enemy? The Everyday Life track "Arabesque" has a similar message of the need for unity between people of different beliefs.
The song ends on a celebratory note, as Martin encourages us when we wake up each morning to embrace life. At first light Throw my arms out open wide Hallelujah
