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 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.
