Story behind the song
I was moved by the plight of civilians trapped in Aleppo.
Lyrics
Anybody out there, anybody watching me?
Anybody out there, anybody looking in on these sins?
Anybody listening, anybody know my name?
Anybody listening, anybody hear our cries, feel our pain?
It doesn't matter who I am, not to you.
You don't even feel ashamed, it's just a game.
We're all the same, all the same to you.
Children playing in the ruins, it's a war zone, our blood is flowing away.
Anybody out there, anybody hear the truth?
Anybody looking, anybody here can see, we should be free.
Anybody out there, anybody make that choice
Anybody listening, anybody hear my voice, please hear my voice.
It doesn't matter what I say, words fade away.
We are the news now, but just today-turn off the feed, we go away
Just fade away.
No children playing the light is fading, against the sky the trees are bare, no one cares.
Anybody out there, anybody listening?
