Lyrics:

Clawing up the deep black well
toward a shaft of light above
One canary climbs the coalmine
gone to mingle with the doves
Is there anybody there?
Bloodied fingers, broken nails
muscles shaking from the climb, but
Soon I’ll reach the space to spread these clipped wings and
sing the strongest song of all time
Is there anybody there?
Hello, is there anybody there?
Bathed in sunlight, I reach the world
so bright yellow I can barely see
I release my melody to these clear skies
but it seems no one is listening to me
Is there anybody there?
Hello, is there anybody…
There, there, don’t you cry. It’s a secret everybody sees eventually
said the old man deep inside
The secret of the open sky, where the stars at night are shining bright with promise and such purpose
is how everyone competes for a feeling of completeness – it’s so cold here on the surface
We are prisoners of our dreams for we’re taught to gauge the meaning of the song by fame and fortune
You see that scene that called your soul? It’s commercially controlled to hold the wealth out of proportion
Seldom now a day goes by without one more implication I am useless and unwanted
in this scene that’s seen it all (if we need you we will call) as I’m stuck – all progress stunted
Bloodied fingers, broken nails
muscles aching from the fall
Every day another little piece of me dies and now I
sing the strangest song of them all
Is there anybody there?
Hello, is there anybody…
Hello, is there anybody…
hello, is there anybody…
