Lyrics

Does Anybody Listen Anymore

Here we are at odds again; I know that you're not listening
You're planning out the words to say; your eyes are far away
What is this accomplishing; Like trying to catch the wind
But it just blows on past, back to where it all begins


And we talk so loud
We just hear what we want
Does anybody listen anymore
Does anyone hear my call

I'm lying here out on the street; this knife is stuck inside me
But you just walk on by; and ignore my cries
Heaven help us Lord I pray; I hope that He is listening
We forgot how to believe so won't You help our unbelief


'Cause we talk so loud
We just hear what we want
Does anybody listen anymore
Does anyone hear my call

And the words fly past
But they're all ignored
Does anybody listen anymore
Does anyone hear my call

Can anyone hear or have our hearts become too hard
That still small voice still cries out
Now, apathy's here and our consciences are seared
Does anybody listen anymore

I'm growing here inside of you; I'm kicking and I'm pleading
That you will spare my life; you can hear my heart is beating
With so much love to give to you; I had hoped that we would meet
I promise I'll be good, mama, the choice is yours


'But we act so proud
We do just what we want
Does anybody listen anymore
Does anyone hear my call

And we all fall down
We don't hear at all
Does anybody listen anymore
Does anyone hear my call
Still it goes on, still it goes on...
