Is anybody listening?
They say I've got no right to question a life without hope
or ask for anything more than to suffer and bleed at the end of a rope
They say I've got no right, to look them in the eye
That 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 tears
Is our future written on a sky of cold stone
God, if you're listening let us know
God, if you're listening let us know
They teach us to believe we're not strong like them
That we don’t have the will to crush these walls that hold us in
They try to make us think that we’ll never have a chance
Can 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 fear
Is our future written on a sky of cold stone
God if you’re listening let us know
God if you’re listening let us know
You can tie a rock to my soul
But you can’t build a prison for my mind, no....
You can chain my body to the earth
But 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 someone
God if you hear us, send us someone
Is anybody listening?
