Anybody listening?

You and I long to live like wind upon the water

If we close our eyes we’ll maybe realize there’s more to life than what we have known

And I can’t believe I’ve spent so long living lies I knew were wrong inside

I’ve just begun to see the light

Long ago there was a dream, had to make a choice or two

Leaving all I loved behind for what nobody knew

Stepped out on the stage, a life under lights and judging eyes

Now the applause has died and I can dream again...

Is there anybody listening? Is there anyone that sees what’s going on?

Read between the lines, criticize the words they’re selling

Think for yourself and feel the walls become sand beneath your feet

Feel the breeze? Time's so near you can almost taste the freedom

There’s a warm wind from the south

Hoist the sail and we’ll be gone by morning, this will all seem like a dream

And if I don’t return to sing the song

maybe just as well I’ve seen the news and there’s not much I can do...alone

Is there anybody listening?

Is there anyone who smiles without a mask?

What’s behind the words-images they know will please us?

I’ll take what’s real bring up the lights

Is there anybody listening?

Is there anyone that sees what’s going on ? Read between the lines, criticize the words they’re selling

Think for yourself and feel the walls become sand beneath your feet.
