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
|
