lyrics

Is Anybody There?

He is up there, on a makeshift stage
performing tunes he recently wrote.
As he sings out the songs from his heart
he feels every word, every note.
With each new song, his eyes closed tight,
as music and voice dance along
when he’s done, he opens his eyes;
to no applause, to no audience to hear his song.

And he cries, “Can anybody hear me? Does anybody care?
Am I out here all alone just singing to myself?
Is anyone listening?
Is anybody there?

He is alone, perched on a stool in his room
to record a track in the seventh place.
As he works out a pleasing melody
a certain smile crosses his face.
And with each new track, he fills a void,
as music and voice are complete;
when it’s done, he listens again,
and tears fill his eyes; it sounds so sweet.

And he wonders, “Will anybody hear this?
He wonders, will anybody care?
Am I out there all alone just singing for myself?
Is anyone listening?
Is anybody there?
Is anybody there?
