If There's Anybody out There - Hugh Masekela

If there’s anybody out there who can hear me

I’m screaming from way down here below

In this lovely, lovely, lonely place that we livin' in

There’s a whole lot of jivin' going on

And if I’ll be strong enough to finish my story

You will see just what a movie this has been

There are brothers and sisters who think how you look is all it is

There are cities where people never say hello

There are men who think they built this world and can destroy it

They have puppets pulling water pistols on the toys

Who will shelter my little mermaid love on the seaside?

Who will play with the little boy on the hill?

Who will save all the madmen or the pretty girls

If all these men wanna do is pull a gun?

They have hung him on a cross

Now they praise him

While they kill us in his name

They have given all his clothes to all the soldiers

And they’re getting ready to put that cross on you

If there’s anybody out there who can hear me

I’m screaming from way, way down here below

In this lovely, lovely, lonely place that we livin' in

There’s a whole lot of jive going on

And if I’ll be strong enough to finish my story

You will see just what a movie this has been

There are brothers and sisters who think how you look is all it is

There are cities where people never say hello

There are men who think they built this world and can destroy it

They have puppets pulling pistols on the toys
