Father, can you hear me?"
<br />-- "Your God hears you Joshua, and makes you a slave of the Pharaoh! Come on!"
<br />
<br />They say I've got no right
<br />to question life without hope
<br />
<br />Or ask for anything more
<br />than to suffer and bleed at the end of a rope
<br />
<br />They say I've got no right
<br />to look them in the eye
<br />
<br />That I belong in the dust at their feet
<br />but one day for sure, I'm gonna die
<br />
<br />Is anybody listenin'?
<br />Does anybody hear?
<br />
<br />Does anybody out there
<br />see us drowning in our tears?
<br />
<br />Is our future written
<br />on a sky of cold stone?
<br />
<br />God, if you're listenin', let us know
<br />God if you're listenin', let us know
<br />
<br />They teach us to believe we're not strong like them
<br />
<br />That we don't have the will
<br />to crush these walls that hold us in
<br />
<br />They try and make us think that we'll never have a chance
<br />
<br />Can I fight for my own freedom
<br />with only these two hands?
<br />
<br />Is anybody listenin'?
<br />Does anybody hear?
<br />
<br />Does anybody out there
<br />see us struggling with our fear?
<br />
<br />Is our future written
<br />on a sky of cold stone?
<br />
<br />If you're listenin', let us know
<br />God, if you're listenin', let us know
<br />
<br />You can tie a rock to my soul
<br />
<br />But you can't build a prison for my mind, no
<br />
<br />You can chain my body
<br />to the earth
<br />
<br />But still the spirit flies
<br />My spirit flies
<br />
<br />Does anybody out there
<br />see us drowning in our fear?
<br />
<br />Will our hopes die slowly
<br />in the heat of the desert sun?
<br />
<br />God if you hear us
<br />send us someone
<br />
<br />God if you hear us
<br />send someone
<br />
<br />Is anybody listenin?<br /><br />
