Is There Anybody Up There?

Lamont’s doing fourteen in Raiford

For running a light that was red

Juanita’s going back to Juarez

Immigration grabbed her in bed

People sure seem angry

They got so much hate

Can’t someone help us

Before it gets too late?

 

 Is there anybody up there in heaven?

 Anybody listening to me?

 Is there anybody up there in heaven?

 Lord, won’t you hear my plea?

 Lord, save me from the righteous

 The ones who never sin

 From the holy finger pointers

 I can never win

 I guess they never heard

 Of a little charity

 if they crucified poor Jesus

 Think what they’ll do to me.

 Is there anybody up there in heaven?

 Anybody listening to me?

 Is there anybody up there in heaven?

 Lord, won’t you hear my plea?

 Everybody actin’ crazy out of their minds

 Can’t seem to tell their heads from their behinds

 

 Is there anybody up there?

 

 I think we need a miracle

 We ain’t had one in a while

 Don’t have to move no mountains

 Just try to help us smile

 Once you get us laughing

 We forget everything else

 This place can be like heaven

 Instead of living hell

 Is there anybody up there in heaven?

 Anybody listening to me?

 Is there anybody up there in heaven?

 Lord, won’t you hear my plea?

 Is there anybody up there in heaven?

 Anybody listening to me?

 Is there anybody up there in heaven?

 Lord, won’t you hear my plea?

 

 Oh Lord, won’t you hear my plea?

 Is anybody listening to me?

 Lord, won’t you hear my plea?
