...hear me?

hush, shut up and listen
what do you hear...now?
shut up and listen
do you hear me soft
or loud?
can you tell what i'm thinking
oh, tell me, can you hear me
can you now?
hush, shut up and listen
i won't say it loud
shut up and listen
is my voice softer still
a whisper in your ear?
shut up and listen
is it barely audible to you?
do you hear my cries, my joys
is my laughter through your soul?
can you hear me now...can you?
will you hear me out, will you?
hush, shut up and listen
to my calling
softly
softly
shut up and listen
as i scream your name loudly
tell me, tell me can you
can you hear me now?
oh, tell me now can you hear me?
do you know what i say,
do you know how i pray,
do you hear me?
will you hear...me
softly?
do you hear me...still?
hush
shut up and listen
can you hear me...
...
... still?
will you, will you hear me
will you, will you, will......
...you...
