Nobody's Song

There are four walls here
Stare at them everyday
Looking through the window
I wait I hope I pray
There is a face
That will show up in time
Who for once is not ashamed
To say they’re on my side
I do my share
And I don’t complain
No one even looks close enough
To see that I’m in pain
And when I sleep
I dream only of that moment
Where I will awaken
And I won’t be alone

I won’t be defeated cuz I know we’re here to win
The rest will fade away and leave us standing
They’re so anxious to say that they’ve been in the war
But none of them know what they’re fighting for

There is a lock here
That keeps me confined
I can’t make my escape until
I’ve planned it in my mind
When that lock breaks
Into a thousand shattered shards
You’ll be waiting on the other side
Holding a thousand broken hearts
The others watch
As lives are reconstructed
While they twiddle their thumbs because
They want to feel productive
There is a world
Where it pays to be a somebody
It might have been easier
If we were all Nobodies

I won’t be defeated cuz I know we’re here to win
The rest will fade away and leave us standing
They’re so anxious to say that they’ve been in the war
But none of them know what they’re fighting for
