AGAINST THE FLOW band performed Does Anybody Hear Her by Casting Crowns during the GOSPEL JAM Invasion event last September 25, 2011 at Isetann Mall in Recto, Manila. The event was in partnership with Word of Hope (Manila) Christian Family Church.

This is the second song of their first set.  While doing the video and listening to the lyrics, I can't help but be moved.  I know too many people, not just teenagers, making all the wrong decisions and suffering for it just because they wanted to be accepted.  Pause, look around you, you'll probably find someone crying for attention and help.  Is anybody listening?

Here are the lyrics of the song

She is running
A hundred miles an hour
In the wrong direction
She is trying
But the canyon's ever widening
In the depths of her cold heart
So she sets out on another misadventure just to find
She's another two years older
And she's three more steps behind

Does anybody hear her? Can anybody see?
Oh does anybody even knows she's going down today
Under the shadow of our steeple
With all the lost and lonely people
Searching for the hope that's tucked away in you and me
Does anybody hear her? Can anybody see?

She is yearning
For shelter and affection
That she never found at home
She is searching
For a hero to ride in
To ride in and save the day
And in walks her prince charming
And he knows just what to say
Momentary lapse of reason
And she gives herself away

If judgment looms under every steeple
If lofty glances from lofty people
That can't see past her scarlet letter
And we never even met her

If judgment looms under every steeple
If lofty glances from lofty people
That can't see past her scarlet letter
And we never even met her
(Never even met her)
Never even met her

Does Anybody Hear her? Does anybody see?
Oh, Does anybody even know she's goin' down today?
Under the shadow of our steeple
With all the lost and lonely people
Searching for the hope that's tucked away in you and me

Does anybody hear her
(Does anybody hear)
Does anybody see?
(Does anybody see)
Does anybody even know she's goin' down today?
Under the shadow of our steeple
(The shadow of our steeple)
With all the lost and lonely people
(All the lost and lonely people)
Searching for the hope that's tucked away in you and me

Does anybody hear her? Does anybody see?

He is running
A hundred miles an hour
In the wrong direction
