Listen and Hear More

[Verse 1] I’ve spent a lifetime listening, Till the echoes fill my head. I've stored them safe from the storm, and tried to help all I could. But who really hears me in this waiting for a gap, talk more world. (chorus) And so I've decided. Now I’m speaking less and saying more. Every word an open door. If you want to stand beside me. All I ask is listen, Listen, and hear more. [Verse 2] Somewhere, somehow I ceased to be. So, I cranked my voice up higher. To stand true in my space. A valid person worth your attention. But the louder I sounded, The more you dismissed me. [Chorus] And so, I've decided. Now I’m speaking less and saying more Every word an open door If you want to stand beside me All I ask is listen, Listen, and hear more [Bridge] I am not your empty well I am not your waiting chair If you come to lay your troubles down Bring your patience here as well. Ask me one small honest question Let it land Then leave it open. Hear the connection we can make. And let’s have a real conversation [ conclusion] Speaking less and saying more Listening and hearing more. I want to know you, I want to hear you I want to share and make the connection But please just do the same for me. Otherwise, it’s all just noise.
