Is Anybody There? Songtext

Is Anybody There? Songtext
Well I'm out here on my own

Followin' a star

Asking on my knees, for some direction, please,

And, God, you know that's hard


Cause I'm such a stubborn man

Lord, I'm stubborn as a mule

Even though I struggle some, I believe a change will come

And I hear you love a fool

I see a road and a flash of lightning

Let me tell you it's frightening



CHORUS:

Is anybody there?

Oh, I need somebody tonight
To care

I'm feeling alone and it just don't seem right

Is anybody there?

Oh, I need somebody to be

To know that I'm good enough for love

To walk beside me



And as a woman in this world

Well you must have felt like this

That a man might come along

With another hard luck song

And betray you with a kiss



But would you reconsider me

Though I know I've caused you pain

I've taken vows with you

I believe them to be true

Now can we take a little rain?



We could hit that road in a flash of lightning

Maybe it won't be so frightening



REPEAT CHORUS TWICE



I'm gonna keep on walking, baby
