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 knew 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 I 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
