Been waiting all my life
Show me a way, would you show me a way
I wanna come out of the dark
But taking away is so hard
Show me a way, just show me a way
Can't do this by myself
Oh no
Oh oh no
Don't know how I should play
The cards that I've been dealt
Can't do this
Anybody
Is anybody listening
Can anybody answer my prayer
Please say yea
Does anybody feel the same
And is there anybody who cares
Life's unfair
I want something more than this
I've given all I can give
Show me the way, won't you show me the way
I just wanna feel I belong
I just need the strength to be strong
Show me a way, would you show me a way
Show me which way to go
Can't do this all alone
I can't do this all alone
Don't feel that I know how
To make it on my own
Is anybody here
Is anybody listening
Can anybody answer my prayer
Please say yea
Does anybody feel the same
And is there anybody who cares
Life's unfair
Is anybody listening
Is anybody listening
Can you hear me
Is anybody listening, yea
Is anybody listening
Can anybody answer my prayer
Please say yea
Does anybody feel the same
And is there anybody who cares
Life's unfair
Is anybody listening
Can anybody answer my prayer
Please say yea
Does anybody feel the same
And is there anybody who cares
Life's unfair
The song “Is Anybody Listening” by Danity Kane is a desperate plea for help from someone who feels lost in life. The lyrics are about wanting to find a way out of the darkness and struggling to do so on one’s own. The singer is searching for guidance and support, asking for someone to show them the way and provide some sort of direction. The chorus of the song repeats the question “Is anybody listening?” as the singer continues to plead for someone to answer their prayers.
The opening lines of the song, “Waiting to see the light, Been waiting all my life” indicate that the singer has been stuck in a dark place for a long time, waiting for something to change. They are asking for help to find a path out of that darkness. The lines “Can't do this by myself, Don't know how I should play the cards that I've been dealt” show that the singer feels overwhelmed by their circumstances and doesn't know how to move forward alone.
The song’s chorus is particularly poignant as the repeated question “Is anybody listening?” highlights the singer’s feeling of loneliness and isolation. They are reaching out for help, hoping that someone will hear their call and answer their prayers. The song ultimately conveys the message that everyone needs support and guidance at some point in their lives, and it's okay to ask for help.
