Is Anybody There?

Lyrics:

Verse 1

Am I a fool to give my heart
And trust my fellow man
There was a time when kindness reigned
Across this great heartland

But somewhere we lost our way
Our hearts turned into stone
Now we judge each other based on color
Or the value of our homes

Kindness seems rare these days
And virtue is hard to find
Instead, we´ve traded love for hate
And truth for vicious lies

Chorus

I´m looking for some honesty
Does anybody care?
I´m looking for some kindness
Can´t find it anywhere
I´m looking for someone to trust
Is anybody there?
Someone with a heart of love
Is anybody there?

Verse 2

I remember when I was a kid
We left our doors unlocked
The neighbors all knew one another
And had parties on their block

Now people break down bolted doors
And take our kids away
People look you in the eye
And lie to you each day

Marriage ending in divorce
Friendships stripped away
I can´t believe we truly want
To continue on this way

REPEAT CHORUS

Bridge

When I look around the world today
My heart breaks right in two
There´s so much pain and anger here
I don´t know what to do
I can´t be the only one
Who wants to see a change
Let´s toss the lies
Embrace the truth
And live in love again.

CHORUS OUT
