LISTEN

Listen...

Can’t you hear my heart shattering
Echoing across the room
I am doing everything I can
To shield my tears from you

My very spirit’s interlaced
With every ardent song I sing
I am pouring out my heart
And you’re not listening

See my eyes so full of hurt
Unshed tears that glisten
Hear what I am feeling
Listen...

~~~*Chorus*~~~
Listen and I’ll draw you to me
Empty out your cluttered mind
Saturate it with my music
Be immortal for a time
Show you how to establish
Compassion born of pain
You will be a captive
Music’s bound, enchanted slave
Oh….  Yes…. It beckons…
Listen…
~~*~~

Can you hear the desperation
Can you hear the claims of faith
The yearning for everlasting love
The world’s revenge and hate

The generous souls, and growing old,
The dregs, and blind ambitions
You won’t hear a thing
The tales I sing
If you don’t connect
To listen…

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~
Listen to the magic I am sharing with you now
Let it infiltrate you, just relax and allow
Skim the seas, on eagle’s wings
Abandon and diverge
Listen to the lyrics
Absorb them,  every word
~~*~~

~~~*Chorus*~~~
Listen and I’ll draw you to me
Empty out your cluttered mind
Saturate it with my music
Be immortal for a time
Show you how to establish
Compassion born of pain
You will be a captive
Music’s bound, enchanted slave
Oh….  Yes…. It beckons…
Listen…
