Listen To The Silence

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 close your eyes 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 free your mind 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
