The Universe Listened
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.
We do our best
We stay in step
As time goes marching by
But There's something wrong
We don't start living
Until we almost die
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
And the universe listens
Well I was born
A silver thorn
On a Midwest rose
I found out fast
Love is last
And it comes and goes
I made a deal
Hearts to steal
They will know my name
I'll pay the price, any price
Just give me the fame
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
And the universe listened
A perfect song
My love is wrong
So I ate the dark
A hero's clothes
The story goes on
But I hate the part
I chose to fall
Destroy it all
But I will rise again
I believe in love
Please send me love
And I will try again
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
And the universe listened
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
And the universe listened
Remove the dark
Heal my heart
Make my body whole
I found my angels
Found my spirit
Guess I found my soul
Teach me how
Show me now
This light has taken me
I'm not ashamed
Help me explain
This awakening
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
And the universe listened
