Queensrÿche Anybody listening? Lyrics

You and I
long to live like 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 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 this song,
it 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!!"

...
...Close your eyes....
