lyrics
ARE WE ALONE
(May 1, 2021)
Who flew the flying saucers? The chariots of the gods
Who built the ancient citadels… Built against all odds
Who drew the glyphs at Nazca? Who were they drawn for?
In the desert of New Mexico there must be something more.
All the dreamers in the world
They want the answer… “Are We Alone”?
All the dreamers want to know
Is there anybody home?
Are We Alone? Are We Alone?
Who’s had a close encounter… You know we’re not alone
So few of us have been invited inside a UFO
If I suspend the skeptic that lives inside of me
Perhaps I’ll have a visitation and then at last I’ll see.
All the dreamers in the world
They want an answer… “Are We Alone”?
All the dreamers want to know
Is there anybody home?
Are We Alone? Are We Alone?
Is there anybody out there?
I heard someone say “We’re not alone”
There must be someone out there somewhere
Someone out there in the vast unknown.
Is there anybody out there?
