Cryin' to be Heard

Somebody's cryin' to be heard

And there's also someone who hears every word

Sail across the ocean with your back against the wind

Listening to nothing save the calling of a bird

And when the rain begins to fall, don't you start to curse

It may be just the tears of someone that you never heard

Reflected in the water is a face that you don't know

And isn't it surprising when you find out it's your own?

And so you try to find out whether it is friend or foe

And what it wants to know, and what it wants to know

Well, you're wrapped up in your little world and no one can get in

You sit and think of everything, then you wonder where you've been

You put the blame on someone that you've hardly ever known

And then you realize too late the blame was all your own
