"Is There Anybody Here?" lyrics
"Is There Anybody Here?"
Is there anybody here who'd like to
Change his clothes into a uniform
Is there anybody here who thinks they're
Only serving on a raging storm
Is there anybody here with glory in their eyes
Loyal to the end, whose duty is to die
I wanna see him
I wanna wish him luck
I wanna shake his hand, wanna call his name
Put a medal on the man
Is there anybody here who'd like to wrap
A flag around an early grave
Is there anybody here who thinks they're
Standing taller on a battle wave
Is there anybody here like to do his part
Soldier to the world and a hero to his heart
I wanna see him
I wanna wish him luck
I wanna shake his hand, wanna call his name
Put a medal on the man
Is there anybody here proud of the parade
Who'd like to give a cheer and show they're not afraid
I'd like like to ask him what he's trying to defend
Oh I'd like to ask him what he thinks he's gonna win
Is there anybody here who thinks that following
The orders takes away the blame
Is there anybody here who wouldn't
Mind a murder by another name
Is there anybody here whose pride is on the line
With the honor of the brave and the courage of the blind
I wanna see him
I wanna wish him luck
I wanna shake his hand, wanna call his name
Put a medal on the man
Is there anybody here so proud of the parade
Who'd like to give a cheer and show they're not afraid
I'd like to ask him what he's trying to defend
I'd like to ask him what he thinks he's gonna win
Is there anybody here who thinks that following
The orders takes away the blame
Is there anybody here who wouldn't
Mind a murder by another name
Is there anybody here whose pride is on the line
With the honor of the brave and the courage of the blind
I wanna see him
I wanna wish him luck
I wanna shake his hand, gonna call his name
Put a medal on the man
Medal on the man
