Is There Anybody There?

Knew before I got your letter, there was something wrong,
Should have stayed beside you, right where I belong,
Maybe we’d still be together, in another place,
Goin’ home is going to be, so difficult to face

Was it somethin’ I said or did, made you go away?
Maybe there’s another, is that why you can’t stay?
If I had some answers, then I could put things right --
‘stead of wakin’ up from nightmares, in the middle of the night

Chorus
Is there anybody there? Is there anybody there?
I called out softly, is there anybody there?

Every room is dark and empty, not a sound can I hear
I long for just a whisper, to know you are near,
Thought I heard the sound, of a closing door ---
But I knew it couldn’t be that way, not any more --

Chorus
Is there anybody there? Is there anybody there?
I called out softly, is there anybody there?

Anybody there? ----- anybody there? -----
“Where are you baby?” - - (spoken)
Is there anybody there? -------

Repeat to fade.


Blues style song? or at least with a slower rhythm? Maybe a bit of Soul in there?

I Hear the Sound

I Hear the Sound

I hear the sound of peoples voices, crying in the wind
And more of them are asking – why are we so blind?
So many lives in torment – not knowing what to do
Where is it really going to end and can we see this through?

Yet there’s hope within my heart – keeps rising up inside
I realise that you and I have nothing more to hide
In my vision of the future – that is not so far away
Is a golden age of freedom – for everyone, let’s pray---

Bridge
Nelson Mandela spoke of freedom, there’s a man of self-esteem
Martin Luther King to millions said “My friends I have a dream”
Princess Diana brought light, in to the lives of many more
Mother Teresa was a saviour to the sick and to the poor

So let this hope within our hearts be good reason now to give
And to realise we have the power to help so many live
Then we’ll hear the sound of voices filled with love and peace
And the joyous sound of laughter that will truly never cease

I hear the sound ----------
And we have so much to give
I hear the sound ----------
And we can help so many live!

Let’s hear the sound of laughter
Let’s hear the sound of love and peace!
I hear the sound! I hear the sound! I hear the sound!
