A fragmented, overlapping song from The Band's Visit where multiple voices plead for answers amid blinding light and personal struggle. The repeated refrain "Will you answer me?" layers across speakers, building yearning and a desperate search for connection and understanding.
Here
I
am
Here I am, and
the light is blinding.
Where are you? Where are you? Will you ever O Lord,
in the
quiet of my ears, I've heard your speech. For your voice, for your voice, can you Answer me If I try, maybe
I can see your struggle In the sorrow you hide, the masquerade's as blue If I try, I might take
And
I'll travel along my way Very
soon,
very soon That's the sound of the
people Are you there?
Are you there?
Will you answer me?
Will you answer me? ទ្ទ្ទ្ទ្ទ្ទ្ទ្ទ្ទ្ទ្ទ្ទ្ទ្ទ្ទ្ទ្ទ្ទ្ទ្ទ្ទ្ទ្ទ្ទ្ទ្ទ្ទ្ទ្ទ្ទ្ទ្ទ្ទ្ទ្ទ្ទ្ទ្ទ្ទ្ទ្ទ្ទ្ទ្ទ្ទ�
My dreams, my wills, the light inside me When the sunlight's blue, I find control
Only me, only me when you move with the world around In the world around, will you answer? Will you answer?
Answer me!
