Lyrics
Listen
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Listen
in the places you hide
Listen
Through the stillness inside
Yeah, yeah, yeah listen
To the words that are near
And try to hear
Listen
Take one less step away
Please listen
Love may persuade you to stay
Yeah, yeah, yeah baby listen
Past the sound of your fear
And try to hear
Two hearts that doubted
now beg to believe
Aching in silence,
each whispers a plea
Secrets of longing kept buried away
Sadly their calling
grows weaker each day
Yeah
Please listen
For hope that's been left behind
Listen
To the small traces you find
Yeah, yeah, baby please listen
Before this chance disappears
And try to hear
Listen
in the places you hide
Yeah, listen
Through the stillness inside
Please, please, baby listen
For the love that is near
And try to hear
Whoa, oh, listen
Take one less step away
Yeah, yeah, yeah, listen
Don't run so far off today
Please, please, baby listen
Push aside all your fears
And try to hear
Yeah, listen
Whoa, listen
Please, baby listen
Yeah, yeah, yeah, baby listen
Past the sound of all fears
And try to hear
