I Need Someone To Listen!
I Need Someone To Listen!
The world today is not the world
you speak of
The times have changed in so
many ways
What used to be is dead and gone
What once was right today is wrong
I need someone who really wants to listen
The world today is not the world
you speak of
The times have changed in so
many ways
What used to be is dead and gone
What once was right today is wrong
I need someone who really wants to listen
You speak of things that don’t pertain to me
Within your mind, things are as they should be
I know you try to understand
But can’t relate to times at hand
I need someone who knows just how to listen
You speak of things that don’t pertain to me
Within your mind, things are as they should be
I know you try to understand
But can’t relate to times at hand
I need someone who knows just how to listen
Listen with your heart, that’s what hearts are for
Listen with your ears, open up the door
Listen with your eyes
Shed with me my tears
I need someone who knows just how to listen
Listen with your heart, that’s what hearts are for
Listen with your ears, open up the door
Listen with your eyes
Shed with me my tears
I need someone who knows just how to listen
I'm doing all I can, to help you understand
Enfold me in your arms and lead me by the hand
And listen, just listen, simply listen
I'm doing all I can, to help you understand
Enfold me in your arms and lead me by the hand
And listen, just listen, simply listen
