Is There Anybody Out There?

I was born as a bastard, no father, no master, A shadow in silence left searching for answers Put up for adoption and left with no option Another kid fostered to fester forgotten Take a look into these desperate eyes As they’re cast into the wretched hive But I ain’t going down alone Is there anybody out there? Anybody listening to me? Is anybody else scared? The paranoia, drops me to my knees Does anybody feel lonely? Disconnected from the things I see Is there anybody out there? Anybody out there just like me? I’m choking on these words and I can’t breathe Now I stand as a father, to men with no honor Ashamed of the racists I used to call brothers Cause no flag can mean bravery, when bloodied by slavery, The rebel, a devil, disguised as a savior And the sickening feeling in the air Is the fear to speak that no one dares So will I stand here all alone? Live my life like I’ll die tonight Dream like I’ll live forever I have roared at the world for years Doesn’t anybody hear me? This burden suffered, I’ve paid the cost Not all who wander are lost
