Is anybody listening?
They say I've got no right to question a life without hopeor ask for anything more than to suffer and bleed at the end of a ropeThey say I've got no right, to look them in the eyeThat I belong in the dust of their feet, one day for sure I'm gonna die
Is anybody listening? Does anybody hear?Does anybody out there see us drowning in our tearsIs our future written on a sky of cold stone
God, if you're listening let us knowGod, if you're listening let us know
They teach us to believe we're not strong like themThat we don’t have the will to crush these walls that hold us inThey try to make us think that we’ll never have a chanceCan I fight for my own freedom, with only these two hands
Is anybody listening? Does anybody hear?Does anybody out there see us struggling with our fearIs our future written on a sky of cold stoneGod if you’re listening let us knowGod if you’re listening let us know
You can tie a rock to my soulBut you can’t build a prison for my mind, no....You can chain my body to the earthBut still my spirit flies, my spirit flies......
Is anybody out there? See us drowning in our fear?Will our hopes die slowly in the heat of the desert sun?
God if you hear us, send us someoneGod if you hear us, send us someone
