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?
