I woke up early in the morning
The sun was glaring in my eyes
The sirens crying in the city
They're off to save another life
They cry woe
Is anybody listening?
They cry woe
Does anybody hear?
They cry woe
Is anybody listening?
They scream woe
Does anybody care?
My next door neighbor has a baby
She is only 6 months old
She cries all night, It drives me crazy
Whenever she's hungry, dirty or she's cold
She cries woe
Is anybody listening?
She cries woe
Does anybody care?
She cries woe
I need someone's attention
To rescue me from such despair
A million voices in the city
And they're singing the same song
Lonely hearts in desperation
Searching for strength to carry on
You see everyone's longing for affection
It's something we rarely do receive
We just want to be wanted
To be loved, it is all that we need
We cry woe
Is anybody listening?
We cry woe
Does anybody care?
We cry woe
I need someone to save me
And rescue me from such despair
Is there anybody there to hear them calling?
Is there anybody there to hear them cry?
Is there anybody there to hear them calling?
He is there with you
He is there with you
He is there with you
He hears your cries
He is there with you
And He'll never leave you
He is there with you
You see the preacher on the corner
He stands there every afternoon
He reads his Bible and tries to warn ya
That the Lord is coming soon?
