Long ago there was a dream, had to make a choice or two
Stepped out on the stage, alive under lights and judging eyes
Living lies, I knew were wrong inside
There's a warm wind from the south, hoist the sail and we'll be gone
Think for yourself and feel the walls become sand beneath your feet
Think for yourself and feel the walls become sand beneath your feet
And I can't believe, I've spent so long
Is there anyone who smiles without a mask?
Is there anyone that sees what's going on?
Is there anybody listening?
I've just begun to see the light
I'll take what's real, bring up the lights
By morning, this will all seem like a dream
What's behind the words? Images, they know will please us
Now the applause has died and I can dream again
Close your eyes
There's more to life than what we have known
And if I don't return to sing the song, maybe just as well
Read between the lines, criticize the words they're selling
Read between the lines, criticize the words they're selling
Is there anybody listening?
Feel the breeze, time's so near, you can almost taste the freedom
I've seen the news and there's not much I can do alone
Is there anyone that sees what's going on?
Is there anybody listening?
Leaving all I loved behind, for what nobody knew
