Now that I know they're out there Guiding every move we make I can feel them everywhere In every choice I have to take Are they in the static? In the space between the words? Are they democratic Or following orders that we've never heard? Every breakthrough, every thought Might not be mine alone Every lesson that I'm taught Coming through some cosmic phone The watchers (THE WATCHERS!) Have they always been here? The watchers (THE WATCHERS!) Whispering in our ear Every time we think we're thinking They might be thinking too The watchers (THE WATCHERS!) What else do they do? Are they proud of our progress? Disappointed in our wars? Do they feel our stress When we're banging on locked doors? Seven billion students In their cosmic classroom Are we meeting rudiments? Or headed for our doom? Every breakthrough, every thought Might not be mine alone Every lesson that I'm taught Coming through some cosmic phone The watchers (THE WATCHERS!) Have they always been here? The watchers (THE WATCHERS!) Whispering in our ear Every time we think we're thinking They might be thinking too The watchers (THE WATCHERS!) What else do they do? Maybe watching's not the word Maybe "caring" fits much better Every prayer they've heard Every desperate letter We thought we screamed at darkness Begged an empty sky But someone heard our sharpness Someone heard our cry The watchers (THE WATCHERS!) They've always been here The watchers (THE WATCHERS!) Catching every tear Every time we thought we're sinking They were lifting too The watchers (THE WATCHERS!) Now I see the truth They're watching... They're caring... They're teaching... They're preparing...
