ARE YOU LISTENING
=====================
I was hungry you feed me 
Naked you clothed me 
They will know us by our love 

Can't imagine how it felt as layed there 
Through the dark through the heat through the cold 
With your friend by your side held his hand and watched him die 
And you cried as you prayed for his soul 

I can't imagine how it felt as you stood there 
Through the winds that would just not go away (um huh) 

Kiss my wife tell my son my work on earth is done 
You're the one that can still hear them say (ooh) 

Is there anybody out there listening 
And does anybody know my name 
No my friend we were not there 
But we're here and we care 
And yes we feel your pain (ooh yes) 
And yes we feel your pain 

I can't imagine how you felt as you sat there 
Trying to hide the fear upond your face 

As the earth begins to cry and you ask the preacher why 
Tonight we can hear the children say (hear them say) 

Is there anybody out there listening 
And does anybody know my name (anybody) 
No my friend we were not there 
But we're here and we care 
And yes we feel your pain (ooh) 

And does anybody out there know me (Do you know me) 
Can you stop the clock make this go away(make it do away) 
No the cross we can not bare but god can and he cares 
And yes he feels your pain (we can feel the pain) 
And yes he feels your pain 

And can anybody see because my faith is getting weak 
Don't know how much more I can take 
Hear my heart and please don't delay (lay) 

Is there anybody out there listening 
And does anybody my name 
No my friend we were not there 
But we're here and we care(oh oh) 
And yes we feel your pain (YEAH) 

Is there anybody out there listening 
(Does anybody know) does anybody my name 
(Does anyone know my name) 
No my friend we were not there 
And I look right hear and I care (we hear and we care) 
And yes (yes)he feels your pain (I feel your pain) (yeaaaah) 

Does anybody out there know me(know me) 
Please stop the clock and make this go way (you can make it go away) 

No that cross I can not bare but he can and he cares 
And (yes) feels your pain (oh yes) 
And yes he feels your pain 
And yes he feels your pain(feels your pain)(thank you jesus) 

The clock is ticking we hear you (oh my oh my) we see you 
He's got the whole world in his hands (oh ohh) 
He's got the whole world in his hands (you and me sister you and me brother) 
Hands (hands) hands
