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 hears your cries )

He is there with you (And He'll never leave 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?
