Is there anybody, god are you listening
Cuz something in my life has damn sure been missing
Was never searching, but seems like I found it
To be now surrounded by something I doubted
And when they told you, mixed feelings and sorrow
Sleep on it I thought, comprehend it tomorrow
But with tomorrow came no answers, no time to process
To injest 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 a 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 all but damn this story is way out there
So it always has me asking, is there anybody out there

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, could transfer over to my wife
We're growing further apart, we've turned it into an art
Of how to isolate ourselves, oh the quicker we part
How ironic cuz we still 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 cant fake it
I'm grateful for good fortunes, but even more for the challenges
Someone's watching over me, this is my way to acknowledge it

Is there anybody, anyone 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 cant' 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 often times 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 it's easier to escape, then to face what you've created
So tell me is there anybody out, that you know without a doubt
Can explain to me what is happening, what life is all about
