You listening Are you listening? Your eyes are closed You're sleeping, are you dreaming? Is this truth we know Even the truth that all, We're only breathing Naive minds for naive lives, We don't have nine lives, Open your eyes The only chance you get, Is here tonight We all have hearts that beat Your nodding, but are you listening? Your lips move, No one makes a sound You listening? Are you listening? Our eyes they cannot see, They're wasted on people just like me Ive been blind for too long, I thought I knew my right from wrong But now it only seems letting myself down Is it just in my dreams Your ... to yourself, Then you'll see But we all have hearts that beat Your nodding, but are you listening? Your lips move, No one makes a sound You listening? Are you listening? We all have to believe, That it's easier to dream, so Your lips move, No one makes a sound You listening? Are you listening? It's a little bit of give, And a little bit of take When you're looking for the mark you want to make It's a little bit of give, And a little bit of take Don't be afraid no, Don't be afraid no It's just a part everyone gotta go through Don't be afraid no, Don't be afraid no We all have hearts that beat Your nodding, but are you listening? Your lips move, No one makes a sound You listening? Are you listening? We've all learnt to believe, That it's easier to dream, so Your lips move, No one makes a sound You listening? Are you listening? Are you, are you listening? You listening? Are you listening?

You and I Long to live like the wind upon the water. If we close our eyes, we'll maybe realize There's more to life than what we have known. And I can't believe I've spent so long Living lies I know were wrong inside, I've just begun to see the light. Long ago there was a dream, Had to make a choice or two. Leaving all I loved behind, For what nobody knew. Stepped out on the stage, a life Under lights and judging eyes. Now the applause has died and I Can dream again... Is there anybody listening? Is there anyone that sees what's going on? Read between the lines, Criticize the words they're selling. Think for yourself and feel the walls Become sand beneath your feet Feel the breeze? Time's so near you can almost taste the freedom. There's a warm wind from the south. Hoist the sail and we'll be gone, By morning this will all seem like a dream. And if I don't return to sing the song, Maybe just as well. I've seen the news and there's Not much I can do... alone Is there anybody listening? Is there anyone who smiles without a mask? What's behind the words--images They know will please us? I'll take what's real. Bring up the lights. Is there anybody listening? Is there anyone that sees what's going on? Read between the lines, Criticize the words they're selling. Think for yourself and feel the walls... Become sand beneath your feet.

The actors and jesters are here The stage is in darkness and clear For raising the curtain And no-one's quite certain whose play it is How long ago, how long If only we had listened then If we'd known just how right we were going to be For we dreamed a lot And we schemed a lot And we tried to sing of love before the stage fell apart If everyone was listening, you know There'd be a chance that we could save the show Who'll be the last clown To bring the house down Oh no, please no, don't let the curtain fall Well, what is your costume today And who are the props in your play You're acting a part which you Thought from the start was an honest one Well how do you plead An actor indeed Go re-learn your lines You don't know what you've done The finale's begun If everyone was listening, you know There'd be a chance that we could save the show Who'll be the last clown To bring the house down Oh no, please no, don't let the curtain fall
