You know I think it's a funny thing |
|
People talk without listening |
|
People listen without hearing |
|
I do it all the time |
|
You know it's a funny phenomenon |
|
People on their constant run |
|
So obvious to me and yet |
|
I never stop to get set |
|
Listen to the silence |
|
You might hear what you're looking for |
|
Hearing nothing but the sound of your mind |
|
Listen to the silence |
|
A little quiet time |
|
You just might find what you're after |
|
If you close your eyes |
|
There's a jackhammer here and a speechmaker there |
|
Here a gun, there a gun, everywhere |
|
See my man go tearing his hair |
|
When everything's fine |
|
I don't pretend to know a lot |
|
I'll do the best with what |
|
I've got Clear my head and give it a shot |
|
Till the stars line up right |
|
Listen to the silence |
|
You might hear what you're looking for |
|
Hearing nothing but the sound of your mind |
|
Listen to the silence |
|
A little quiet time |
|
You just might find what you're after |
|
If you free your mind |
|
This isn't deep, it's not profound |
|
It;s just something that |
|
I think about now |
|
Had to find a new way around |
|
The old way's not right |
|
Self-help books and the latest moves |
|
Who knows what will get you through |
|
Don't know about me, less about you |
|
I don't know but |
|
I'll try Listen to the silence |
|
You might hear what you're looking for |
|
Hearing nothing but the sound of your mind |
|
Listen to the silence |
|
A little quiet time |
|
You just might find what you're after |
|
If you close your eyes |
|
It's a noisy life |
|
I'm living right now |
|
Believe I've done my time in the loud |
|
Noisy life |
|
I'm living right now |
|
I've played my joyful song with a loud sound |
