No One's Listening

(No one's listening) I can't even hear my own thoughts (no one's listening) I hear the trees fall in the empty forest (no one's listening) what more can I scream (No one’s listening) like raindrops lost among the streams In this world we are overwhelmed by opinions and ideas I don’t know what to believe or what I should hear Tell me what’s the truth amongst all the lies Would I know it if they showed me, or would it pass me by (No one's listening) I can't even hear my own thoughts (no one's listening) I hear the trees fall in the empty forest (no one's listening) what more can I scream (No one’s listening) like raindrops lost among the streams I need you to come into the trees, see me, hear me, see what I see I want you to also be aware, so much in the air, it’s choking me See this screen, that app, this picture and that story Should you be in sorrow, or cheer for glory (Listen To me) Your freedoms are being stripped away (listen to me) the climate is changing in the worst ways (Listen to me) Power move to gain some more (Listen to me) Oppression teaches you to ignore Stand up, pump your fist, beat your chest Run, write, read, and rally together Oppression lays the seeds for rebellion Rise up, as a crowd let them hear your yelling Hear us now – we sing together See us now - We stand together We know now – what you’re doing, what you want done WE are ONE – Mothers and daughters, fathers and sons They want us to believe there’s no voice to be heard They want you to ignore the rebellious words But Jah sees us, he knows our plight Rastafari reggae rebels, hold tight
