This is a rally song from the 1980's whose lyrics go something like this:

Can you hear me
Can you hear me calling
Can you hear me calling
Can you hear me calling you

Pledge alligance to the flag
whatever flag they offer
never let them know how you really feel

Teach the children quietly
for someday our sons and daughters
will rise up and fight while we sit still

Can you hear me
Can you hear me calling
Can you hear me calling
Can you hear me calling you..

I thought it was made by Phil Collins, but when I look it up on the web I get nothing.. Anybody here know who made this song?

:confused:

Band: Sandra

Silent Running lyrics




Take the children and yourself
And hide out in the cellar
By now the fighting will be close at hand
Don't believe the church and state
And everything they tell you
Believe in me, I'm with the high command
Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?
Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?

There's a gun and ammunition
Just inside the doorway
Use it only in emergency
Better you should pray to God
The Father and the Spirit
Will guide you and protect you from up here

Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?
Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?

Swear allegiance to the flag
Whatever flag they offer
Never hint at what you really feel
Teach the children quietly
For some day sons and daughters
Will rise up and fight while we stood still

Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?
(Oh, can you hear me running?)
Can you hear me (can you hear me?), can you hear me running?
(Hear me calling, calling...)
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?
(Oh can you hear, can you hear me calling?)
Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?

More famously sung by Mike and the Mechanics. Since Mike was the guitarist for Genesis, that might explain the confusion with Phil Collins.

Mike & The Mechanics

Now there is a band from the past.

Very good song "SILENT RUNNING" (As were most songs from the 80s)
