Is Anybody Home

 


When I was just a boy

And in my father’s hands

I had my Daddy’s word

And something to believe in

And he called it the promised land

Now this old house is gone

The numbers turned to rust

And some of Daddy’s dreams

And most of Mama's teardrops

Are scattered in the dust

 

Is anybody home?

Is anybody there?

Can you tell me where it’s gonna’ go?

As the sun goes down and I watch my children grow

 

Ooo, yeah I wonder where it’s gonna’ go?

As the sun goes down and I watch my children grow

 

We’re flying to the moon

We’re reaching for the stars

With people still at war

And folks still going hungry

Guess we haven’t come so far

And I just shake my head

And try to save a smile

For things that never change

Like memories of loved ones

Or the laughter of a child

 

Is anybody home?

Is anybody there?

Can you tell me where it’s gonna’ go?

As the sun goes down and I watch my children grow

 

Is anybody home?

I don’t know

Is anybody there?

Oh is anybody home?

Is anybody there?

Can you tell me where it’s gonna’ go?

As the sun goes down and I watch my children grow

As the sun goes down and I watch my children grow
