They say I've got no right to question 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 their feet
One day for sure I'm going to die
Chorus:
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
Chorus:
Is anybody listening
Does anybody hear
Does anybody out there see us struggling with our fears
Is our future written on a sky of cold stone
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 the spirit flies
My spirit flies
Chorus:
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 someone
Is anybody listening
