Old Man Thorn, he was good He was just misunderstood He never took nobody's life So how come his ended in strife? They came in one gloomy night Came with the darkness, stole the light They took him out back and bashed his head One month later he was found dead Oh is there anybody out there? Oh is there anybody listening? If there's a God, oh, could You hear Him? Was he screaming out in vain? Did You even know his name? Julie was a sweet little girl Said a prayer before every meal So how come Father was so bad? She couldn't even call him Dad He made her live her life in pain Took her trust, made her insane So where were You when he broke her down? Did You even hear a sound? Oh is there anybody out there? Oh is there anybody listening? If there's a God, oh, could You hear her? Was she crying out in vain? Did You even know her name? Life is short, and life is gray What am I living for anyway? Consequences I must pay If I don't get it right today The world just seems so unfair We are living in the monster's lair I need to know You're on the throne I wonder when You'll take us home Is there anybody out there? Is there anybody listening? If theres a god, oh, can ya hear me? Am i crying out in vain? Do you even know my name? I know there is somebody out there I know there is somebody listening There is a God, and He can hear me I'm not cryin' out in vain And I know ya know my name
