There are times I think

That no one seems to listen

There are times I think they listen

but don't hear

There are times I think they hear

But something's missing

The thoughts behind the words aren't clear

So, I think they're saying

something they're not saying

They think I mean something

I don't mean at all

Do we raise our voice miscommunicating?

Or simply say nothing at all

Is there another way to say it

In a way that can be heard?

Let me see if I can put it into words



I can hear you, you can hear me

When we listen with our hearts

I understand you, you understand me

That's the place where we can start

Words of kindness and forgiveness

Bring us closer, not apart

When we speak our minds

And listen with our hearts



I can hear you, you can hear me

When we listen with our hearts

I understand you, you understand me

That's the place where we can start

Words of kindness and forgiveness

Bring us closer, not apart

When we speak our minds

And listen with our hearts

And listen with our hearts.
