Can Anybody Hear Me?

Marching on the street, fall down on your knees Watch as the world walks over you Brand new melody, major symphony They can hear the music in you Try all the time But how can you march if they've taken your shoes Try as you might But what can you do if they play out of tune Try and I try But I can only take so much It might be easier to give up Can anybody hear me crying on the inside Can somebody take my fears away If anybody sees me smiling on the outside Acting like it all will be okay Pretend that you don't see me Pretend that you don't hear me I don't know much about what I have I'm just really good at looking back All I see are our mistakes All I see is history repeating Like a city under fire, always bleeding Like a bullet in the night, hear the screaming Like a murder in the dark, hear the breathing Like a grenade going off without reason We keep trying, we keep trying, we keep trying We keep lying, we keep lying, we keep lying We keep fighting, we keep fighting, we keep fighting Fire with fire Can anybody hear me crying on the hillside Can somebody take my pain away If anybody sees me waving when the world's blind Trying to be the one to pave the way Then tell me that you see me Tell me you can hear me When I was lost in the dark It was hard to believe What I've seen oh But ignoring the spark just lets the fire breathe If only they could see me, see me If only they'd believe me, believe me If only they could hear me, hear me Oh Can anybody hear me Can anybody hear me Can anybody hear me How long before I find Someone who'll refuse to walk away Can anybody see me going out of my mind Will anybody ever choose to stay Just to tell me you can hear me Please tell me you can hear me Can anybody hear me
