Everybody's Watching

December 20, 2025

Everbodys Watching By Shanda May (Stormmy) People See, People Hear Eyes Watch Far and near The stare And glare And watch With wonder They always Compare With harsh words That sound Like thunder People feel, People run People hide What they have done Then they watch to feel better Spread the word Like a open letter But hurt people On the way They watch again To make it OK But always know That people watch For good or bad To make it better Or sad Do what is good When no ones there Cause you might be Unaware That Everyone's Watching
