Is Anybody There?

'''Is Anybody There? '''is the song that John Adams sings when he's refering to the rest of Congress not seeing his way on Independence after the South walked out on Adams' defending Jefferson's clause against slavery.

Trivia

 * Adams actually wanted the celebration of Independence to be on July 2 when the real Continental Congress adopts a resolution severing ties with Great Britain, but we celebrate it on July 4th, when the Declaration of Independence was adopted.

Lyrics
Adams:

Is anybody there?

Does anybody care?

Does anybody see what I see?

They want to me to quit; they say

John, give up the fight

Still to England I say

Good night, forever, good night!

For I have crossed the Rubicon

Let the bridge be burned behind me

Come what may, come what may

Commitment!

The croakers all say we'll rue the day

There'll be hell to pay in fiery purgatory

Through all the gloom, through all the gloom

I see the rays of ravishing light and glory!

Is anybody there? Does anybody care?

Does anybody see what I see?

I see fireworks! I see the pagaent and

Pomp and parade

I hear the bells ringing out

I hear the cannons roar

I see Americans - all Americans

Free forever more

How quiet, how quiet the chamber is

How silent, how silent the chamber is

Is anybody there? Does anybody care?

Does anybody see what I see?
