Is Anybody Listening? (Adam Lambert)
Is Anybody Listening? (Lyrics)
"Father, can you hear me?"
"Your God hears you Joshua, and makes you a slave of the Pharaoh! Come on!"
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 at their feet but one day for sure, I'm gonna die
Is anybody listenin'? 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 listenin', let us know God if you're listenin', 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 and make us think that we'll never have a chance
Can I fight for my own freedom with only these two hands?
Is anybody listenin'? Does anybody hear?
Does anybody out there see us struggling with our fear?
Is our future written on a sky of cold stone?
If you're listenin', let us know God, if you're listenin', 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
Does 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 listenin?
