Is There Anyone Out There

So far from where I started

And so far from where I want to be

The towers I watched when I was young

Are not as tall as I once believed

And this heart grows tired

Is there anyone out there?

You know me

I am the son

Of a lost country, of a new world

And we're born to run and we never look back

Children born tomorrow

May never know the language we speak

The wisdom that they borrow

Will hint at something buried too deep

But we carry the fire

Is there anyone out there?

You know me

I am the son

Of a lost country, of a new world

And we're born to run and we never look back

Oh, when we were young, we never knew

The pain that lay beyond, but then we grew

And all my heroes they were strange

But we all just want to be the same

But who will lead us when they are gone?

Who will save us when the wrong ones have won?

Is there anyone out there?
