Is there anybody out here who feels the way I feel?
Is there anybody listening at all?
Are you waiting for an answer, a hero, or a sign?

Are you waiting for the writing on the wall?
Now once more, the end begins to come around, its happening again
What will it take before you see this road is heading nowhere?


But I won't go I won't be taken before my time is through
& I know there's nothing easy about what we have to do


Can anybody tell me, the place where we went wrong?
Is there anybody old enough to know?

A prison's grown around us, and illusions that we're free
Are reflections of the horrors in the stone
Born to believe the words they say, to dream the dreams, and play the games they play

We're bred to break our hands against the walls that we keep building on

I won't go, I won't be taken before my time is through

& I know there's nothing easy about what we have to do

But I can see the writing on the wall

Burning through the embers of our pride before the fall
When revolutions ebb and flow along the path of time
I set sail in the dark at high tide


Can anybody hear me? I sing these words today
But will anyone repeat them when I'm gone?

The world in all its poverty will circle round again
But the words will last forever in the song


And its one more time to turn around, one more chance to lay it down
One more line to stand my ground and say
Its been a long time, yeah it's a long time,

Since we started down this road, we know it well
And it's a long time, yes it's a long time,
How long will this go on, no one can tell


I won't go down a road so dark no one can light the way
& I know I can't go back to sleep or walk away


Is there anybody out here who feels the way I feel?
Is there anybody listening at all?
