Hmm...
A-a- (hmm...) anybody out there
Hmm...
Hmm...
A-a-anybody out there
(Dan)
Is there anybody,
God are you listening
Cuz something in my life,
has damn sure been missing
Was never searching for,
but seems like I found it
To be now surrounded,
by something I had doubted
And when they told me,
mixed feelings and sorrow
Sleep on it I thought,
comprehend it tomorrow
But with tomorrow came no answers,
no time to process
To ingest what had just happened,
so it amounted to stress
You didn't believe it at first,
how convenient at first
For it to be there all of sudden,
how did it happen, you searched
And I confess I didn't feel something,
at least a real something
People would ask me all the time,
I lied to conceal something
Would they hate me,
cuz I'd hate me
Would they get to know,
the real or a fake me
Would my family here,
feel loved or abandoned
And if I told you the truth,
would you understand it
But for some reason it worked,
two worlds emerged,
Two mothers had nursed,
for myself on this earth
I'm grateful for it,
but damn this story is way out there
When always has me asking,
(Clara +Dan)
Is there anybody out there
(Clara)
Hope they're still waiting for me
Cuz I'm feeling so scared (so scared)
But I know through this I can be free (be free)
Cuz if I keep on, I know I'll know I'll find
It will all get better in time (in time)
Is anybody out there (is there anybody)
Cuz I know they're still waiting,
you're still waiting for me
(Dan)
Do you feel the same as I do,
does all this remind you
Of a time you were at your lowest,
just trying to find you
With no one around for you,
to ever think or relate
So you close off yourself,
and these feeling they fade
I can't be the only one,
who has this need to connect
Can't say what we really feel,
we have this need to protect
I lacked compassion in my life,
zero passion for my life
I took it out on my mother,
to transfer over to my wife
We're growing further apart,
we've turned it into an art
Of how to isolate ourselves,
on the quicker we part
How ironic cuz we long for it,
a need to belong to it
So writing this song is my admission,
I have been wrong to it
It's crazy where life has taken,
whether my story will make it
I can't believe what has happened,
this shit you can't fake it
I'm happy for the good fortunes,
but even more for the challenges
Someone's watching over me,
this is my way to acknowledge it
(Clara)
Is there anybody out there (out there)
Hope they're still waiting for me
Cuz I'm feeling so scared (so scared)
But I know through this I can be free (be free)
Cuz if I keep on, I know I'll know I'll find
It will all get better in time
Is anybody out there
Cuz I know they're still waiting,
you're still waiting on me
(Dan)
Is there anybody,
who's watching over
I believe in God,
but I question as I get older
Will my burdens he shoulder,
Can I remain a soldier,
between doing what is right sometimes,
and what i know is colder
And it's a scary proposition,
from this place of my vision
When I can't even trust myself,
with simple moral decisions
I know it's wrong for me to question,
or even trying to test you
But it's hard sometimes,
when I stare at myself in the restroom
That's why can I be open,
can I say I took it for granted
Of what could be offered in life,
this is my time to be candid
Never mind, I'll just get faded,
besides thinking is overrated
And i just want to escape,
that to face what I've created
So tell me is there anybody out,
that you know without a doubt
Can explain to me all this
and what life is all about
To live or live without,
We're wondering what is out
So it's always got me asking,
(Clara+Dan)
Is there anybody out there (out there)
(Clara)
Hope they're still waiting for me
Cuz I'm feeling so scared (so scared)
But I know through this I can be free
Cuz if I keep on, I know I'll know I'll find
It will all get better in time (in time)
Is anybody out there (is there anybody)
Cuz I know they're still waiting,
you're still waiting on me
(Dan)
Is there anybody
(Clara)
A-a-anybody out there
