"Is There Anybody Out There" lyrics

All alone in the long night, staring up at the moon
I've been looking a long time, what's your name? Am I ever gonna find you?
Am I reading the wrong rhymes? Are you too far to hear?
I've been talking a long time, hope my message will find an ear

Is there anybody out there?

Glimpsed a ghost in the darkness, stared me straight in the eye
It was only my own face, faintly mirrored in memory and moonlight
Heard a voice in the vastness whisper words in my ear
It was only my own noise dimly echoed across the years

Is there anybody out there?
Am I ever gonna find my way to you?
Is there anybody out there?
Is there anybody out there?
We haven't met, but I wrote this song for you
Is there anybody out there?

What's the worth of a lone soul? Don't they count 'em by two?
If I only get one role, how the hell am I ever gonna find you?
Maybe someone will find me, I'll be waiting right here
I'll be broadcasting all night, hope my signal is loud and clear

I'm alone in this place as I stare out into space
And I feel something strange, like my world has changed

Is there anybody out there?
Is there anybody out there?
Is there anybody out there?
We haven't met, but I wrote this song for you
Is there anybody out there?

I'm alone in this place as I stare out into space
And I feel something strange, like my world has changed
I'm alone in this place as I stare out into space
And I feel so constrained, like my world has chains

Is there anybody out there?
