Everything moves too fast
And so many dreams fade away with time
Yeah, one day it will end
But not in all the others
We've forgotten how much life we have left
We want to be everything, just not who we are
Afraid of loneliness, but stuck right in the middle
Hoping for a revolution, but it stays silent
Is anyone out there, or am I alone?
Can anyone hear me?
This is my signal
Is there anyone out there?
This is my signal
Can anyone hear me?
No matter how far away
Is anyone out there?
I won't give up until you hear me
This is my signal
Loud silence in the air
Empty pounding in my chest
Nothing but damned silence between us
Sending it out on all channels
Lighting the beacons
This will go through or hit the wall
And if you can hear it, spread your wings
A sea of butterflies call the storm to rise
Because there's also a scream of revolution inside me
Is anyone out there, or am I alone?
Tell me, is anyone out there, or are we alone?
Can anyone hear me?
This is my signal
Is there anyone out there?
This is my signal
Can anyone hear me?
No matter how far away
Is anyone out there?
I won't give up until you hear me
This is my signal
Is there anyone out there?
And yes, I see us falling, deeper into silence
But I believe, I believe in us
Seeing us fall, we’ve been silent for too long
Send the signal out into the distance
Can anyone hear it?
Turn it up, because I’m sending it out
Yes, I am, singing it loud, asking myself
Can anyone hear me?
Turn it up, because I’m sending it out
Yes, I am, singing it loud, asking myself
Can anyone hear me?
Turn it up, because I’m sending it out
Yes, I am, singing it loud, asking myself
Can anyone hear me?
Turn it up, because I’m sending it out
Yes, I am, singing it loud, asking myself
Can anyone hear me?
Turn it up, because I’m sending it out (this is my signal)
Yes, I am, singing it loud, asking myself
Can anyone hear me? (Is anyone out there?)
Turn it up, because I’m sending it out (this is my signal)
Sing it loud, ask myself (can anyone hear me?)
This is my signal
