lyrics

We went the distance
For the Resistance
Got a message said you need our assistance
From a satellite, in the dead of night
Your transmission said something wasn’t quite right

We tried you on the telephone
The only sound was a dial tone
You’re out there and you’re all alone
The lights are on but no one’s home

Sending a signal, sending a signal, sending a signal to you (I keep calling)
Sending a signal, sending a signal, sending a signal to you (I keep calling)

We went the distance
For the Resistance
Got a message said you need our assistance
From a satellite, in the dead of night
Your transmission said something wasn’t quite right

We tried you on the telephone
The only sound was a dial tone
You’re out there and you’re all alone
The lights are on but no one’s home

Sending a signal, sending a signal, sending a signal to you (I keep calling)
Sending a signal, sending a signal, sending a signal to you (I keep calling)
