There's Cryin' In the Wilderness --- Song Lyric

Chorus:
There’s crying in the wilderness
There’s crying in the wilderness… again
There’s crying in the wilderness
 Is anybody listening?

Verse 1:
A man once had a vision.
Someone’s crazy uncle John
While he dined on locust meat
They pretended nothing’s wrong.

Is anybody, is anybody listening?

A boy was crying “wolf”.
They laughed that boy to shame.
They were sleeping in their beds
When that mad wolf fin’lly came.

Chorus:

Verse 2:
Some people are called prophets.
Some people are called fools.
Those deciding which is which
Aren’t always those who make the rules.

Is anybody, is anybody listening?

So listen for a voice of warning.
It could come from anyone.
Listen closely to your neighbor,
To your daughter and your son.

Chorus:

Verse 3:
You say you’ve been listening.
You say you followed every clue.
You say you’ll make a difference.
I ask, “Whatcha gonna do?”

Is anybody, is anybody listening?

You say you’ve been listening.
You say you followed every clue.

You say you’ll make a difference.
I ask, “Whatcha gonna do?”

Chorus:
There’s crying in the wilderness
There’s crying in the wilderness… again
There’s crying in the wilderness
 Is anybody listening?
