Anybody Listening?

You and I Long to live like the 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, alive 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 Close your eyes
