Does Anybody Hear Her

Chorus
Does anybody hear her
Can anybody see
Or does anybody even know
She's going down today
Under the shadow of our steeple
With all the lost and lonely people
Searching for the hope
That's tucked away in you and me
Does anybody hear her
Can anybody see

Verse 1
She is running
A hundred miles an hour
In the wrong direction
She is trying
But the canyon's ever wid'ning
In the depths of her cold heart
So she sets out on another misadventure
Just to find
She's another two years older
And she's three more steps behind

Verse 2
She is yearning
For shelter and affection
That she never found at home
She is searching
For a hero to ride in
To ride in and save the day
And in walks her prince charming
And he knows just what to say
Momentary lapse of reason
And she gives herself away

Bridge
If judgment looms under ev'ry steeple
If lofty glances from lofty people
You can't see past her scarlet letter
And we never even met her
