Kansas - Nobody's Home Lyrics

It's empty now, no friendly face
And nothing lives within
I look around and I find no trace
To tell me what has been

So far I've come to find
There's no one here, no life I fear
I came for nothing, they have gone
And nobody's home, no one's home

I came to learn, perhaps to teach
But I can tell somehow
The world that I was sent to reach
Has got no future now

Across the galaxy to spread the word
And no one heard
I came for nothing, I'm alone
And nobody's home, no one's home

A requiem was never sung
No elegy was read
No monument was carved in stone
In memory of the dead

For those who made this place
Do not remain, they feel no pain
A stranger fate was never known
