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 know 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, a life
|
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 you 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.
