Another gray day out here in the city
Once again we’re all together, all alone
Silent desperation – can’t you hear me calling
You hear my heart beat – pick up the phone
You left a message saying you were lonely
You need a reason why you should go on
Dropped you a line, you’re lost out on this desert
I don’t believe you’re the only one

It’s the cry of the human heart and I need to know the reason
It’s the cry of the human heart – I need someone to believe in
I need someone

All we seem to do is talk in numbers
Doesn’t anybody know my name?
I wear the uniform of those who slumber
Every street I walk looks just the same
Telephone is ringing, won’t somebody answer?
Don’t know how to make it through this day
Are we sleeping? I must be dreaming
If I wake up does it all go away?

It’s the cry of the human heart and I need to know the reason
It’s the cry of the human heart – I need someone to believe in

It’s the cry of the human heart
