Story Behind The Song
The story came from passing by a homeless man everyday that I saw in local shopping center, hoping for a handout.
It made me wonder what his story was?, how he got to be where he was?, and the realization that could happen to anyone of us.

Lyrics
EVERYBODY'S GOT A STORY
(c) 2014 Nick Berry (BMI)
On my way to work each morning,
I pass the same old man.
Standing at a stoplight.
Holding a sign in his hand.
"I could sure use a little help,
If you can give, God Bless."
I can't help but wonder,
How his life ever came to this.
(CHORUS) Everybody's got a story.
Don't be so quick to judge.
'Cause underneath it all,
We're all the same.
We all go through some pain.
But everybody's had at least one moment of glory.
Yeah, Everybody's got a story.
Did he have a home and a family?
Did his job get sent overseas?
Did the bottle cost him everything?
'Til he fell down on his knees.
Sometimes I give a Dollar.
To help him on his way.
But for the grace of God go I.
That could be me one day. 'Cause (Chorus)
Everyone's got their reasons.
Everyone's got some demons. (Chorus)
Rpt. Last two lines of Chorus at end.
