lyrics

I Am Listening

Some people make you prick up your ears
They’re not run of the mill
It doesn’t happen too much over the years
But when it does get your fill
Some call them prophets, others a sage
A shaman or a chief
They have in common wisdom for the age
So let me keep this brief

I am listening
Yes I am listening
I am listening
Yes I am listening
Listening to you

We’re in a bubble, an online cage
Self-service restaurant
We hesitate to turn the page
If it don’t say what we want
But there are voices though they are few
That challenge us to see
Amid the hustle and the media stew
The truth that sets us free

I am listening
Yes I am listening
I am listening
Yes I am listening
Listening to you

I’m turning on and I’m tuning in
I’ve set the dial to the voice within

Yes I am listening
I am listening
Yes I am listening
I am listening
Listening to you
