You Want Me To Listen But You Don't
You want me to listen,
But you don't or wont.
You want me to listen,
But you don't!
You want me to listen,
But you don't or wont.
You want me to listen,
But you don't!
Undivided is my mind,
When giving you time.
But to that you don't listen and you wont!
When I'm there and able,
You don't think I'm capable.
You want me to listen,
But you don't or wont.
You want me to listen,
But you don't!
Every morning and at dawn,
Sing you do that same sad song.
'Nobody loves me.'
And...
You want me to listen,
But you don't or wont.
You can decide to have a change of heart.
But to that you don't listen and you wont!
Everyday there's a new way,
You can move or choose to stay.
But to that you don't listen and you wont,
And don't!
'Nobody loves me.'
You want me to listen,
But you don't or wont.
You want me to listen,
But you don't!

Why Can't You Listen?
Why can't you listen?
Why can't you hear words from Me?
Why can't you sit and just be...
To listen.
Listen.
Why can't you listen?
Why can't you hear words from Me?
Why can't you sit and just be...
To listen.
Listen.
Why do you call Me?
Why do you say you're alone?
You wish for Me to appear.
And yet when I'M near.
Your closed ears wont hear Me!
Why do you pray to Me?
Master I Am of your World.
I'M with you there silently.
But you will not see...
Everything that is Me!
One I Am and only One!
Maker of your Moon, Stars and Sun.
All things on Earth that is there...
Is there if you ask,
But your faith does not last!
Why can't you listen?
Why can't you hear words from Me?
Why can't you sit and just be...
To listen.
Listen.
Why do you call Me?
Why do you say you're alone?
You wish for Me to appear.
And yet when I'M near.
Your closed ears wont hear.
A word.
Why can't you listen?
Why can't you hear words from Me?
Why can't you sit and just be...
To listen to Me.
Listen...
And let Me in!
'Father...
Clear my mind of these obstacles! '
I'M trying!
But you wish it 'your' way.
And not the way MY way is.

There Wont Be Many Coming Home
(orbison/ dees)
Listen all you people
Try and understand
You may be a soldier
Woman, child or man
But there wont be many coming home
No, there wont be many coming home
Oh, there wont be many
Maybe ten out of twenty
But there wont be many coming home
Now the old folks will remember
On that dark and dismal day
How their hearts were choked with pride
As their children marched away
Now the glory is all gone
They are left alone
And there wont be many coming home
No, there wont be many coming home
Oh, there wont be many
Maybe five out of twenty
But there wont be many coming home
Look real closely at the soldier
Coming at you through the haze
He may be the younger brother who ran away
And before you kill another
Listen to what I say
Oh, there wont be many coming home
Oh, there wont be many coming home
Oh, there wont be many
There may not be any
But there wont be many coming home
If they all came back but one
He was still some mothers son
And there wont be many coming home
Oh, there wont be many coming home
Oh, there wont be many coming home
Oh, there wont be many coming home.......

Cry Of Love
Stand in the window
Close to the edge
As the neon signs surrender to the light of day
I sip a bitter cup of coffee
And I fade away oh I fade away
Theres a cross above my pillow
Curse words on the wall
What Id give to write the pages of my life again
No I cant believe this is the way
The story ends oh is this the end is this the end
I wanna run to the highest mountain
I wanna stand in the light of the sun
I wanna ask all this world to forgive the man that Ive become
And now I call on the angels above
Wont somebody hear wont somebody hear
My cry of love
Got a shoe box full of letters
Got a ring that I should pawn
Theres a picture on the table of the way we were
I wish to God I could forget
But I still think of her I think of her
Oh I think of her
I wanna run to the highest mountain
I wanna stand in the light of the sun
I wanna ask all this world to forgive the man that Ive become
And now I call on the angels above
Wont somebody hear wont somebody hear
My cry of love
Wont anybody listen to me
Can anybody hear my prayer
Wont anybody listen to my cry of love
Wont anybody listen to my cry of love
Wont anybody listen to my cry of love
I wanna ask all this world to forgive
The man that Ive become
And so I call on the angels above
Wont somebody hear wont somebody hear
My cry of love
Wont anybody listen to me
Can anybody hear my prayer
Wont anybody listen to me
Does anybody really care
My cry of love

Missing You
Ohhh
I had to put the photographs of you away
It hurts so much to see you smile at me
Since youve been away I feel an empty space
That will never be replaced wid memories
Ohhh
I cant believe that its over
But this sure is a shame
But luv was not enough to make you stay
So I had to say goodbye to yesterday
You went away
(chorus)
I tell myself that Im not missing you
(Im not missing you)
But my heart it jus wont listen (jus wont listen)
Even though I tell it to
I think about it all the time
Cant see to get you off my mind
And it jus wont seem to matter what I do
Cant stop missing you (missing you)
Im missing you
Never thought each breath was gonna hurt soo much
The heavy on my heart jus wont subside
The time we spent together was jus not enough
So I guess thats why I jus cant say goodbye..noo
Ohh
I cant believe that its over
That the ties have all been freed
Still Id give the world jus to have one more day
(one more day)
Jus a chance for me top hold u close and say
Please dont go away
(chorus)
I tell myself that Im not missing you
(Im not missing you)
But my heart it jus wont listen (wont listen)
Even though I tell it to
I think about it all the time (bout it all the time)
Cant see to get you off my mind
And it jus wont seem to matter what I do
Cant stop missing you
Time will heel my wings and let me fly
(far away)
Far above the rive that I cry,ohhh
High above the borrow that has kept me from the truth
Somewhere out there youve been missing me ike Ive seen missing you

Be still, but be in vigour.
Listen.
The winds of change blow at your feet.
Listen.
They call your name and feed your heart.
Listen.
They tell you what you want and more,
listen.
Just stop, and listen.
They know you,
truly,
and they are simply here to show you the way.
They know the quivering child who fears the world who resides inside your soul.
Listen.
They bring you no harm, so
listen.
Listen and just be glad.
Your angels have come to take you home.
Listen
Listen to the vines with the thorns
For they are the tricksters
Listen to their wisdom
Listen to the trees
For they are the sages
Listen to them whisper their knowledge in your ear
Listen to the leaves
For they are the talkers
Listen to them talk
Listen to the stream
for it is the dreamer
Listen to its dreams
Listen to mother nature
For she is their mother
Listen with her for she is your mother too

Dont Listen/ listen
Don't listen when they tell you that you can't be somebody well known someday
Don't listen
to the stupid remarks people say
Don't listen
when people spread rumors.
Listen
when people give you advise
Listen
when they try to bring you spirit high
Listen
because they always try to help you.
Don't listen
to the people who try to get you high
Don't listen
to the people who lie
Don't listen
to the people who tell you that your ugly.
Listen
to the people who make you smile
Listen
to the people and get to know them for a while
Listen
to the people for you may learn something everyday.

Tiny Demons
One of them plays a piccolo in my ear
Another one makes me smell things that arent there
And they know where to hide
And they know everything thats inside
Of my head
Tiny demons, inside me
One of them ties a lasso around my heart
Another makes me nod when I drive the car
And they wont ever leave
But they wont show their faces to me
And they wait til I feel
Like theyre gone and they jump out and steal
My relief
Tiny demons, inside me
Listen, listen
Listen for the sound
That is not in the music
Only you can hear it,
Only you can use it
Its the sound of someone breathing,
Its the breath of life
Its the sound that you are weaving
With the thread of life
Listen, listen
Listen to the sound,
Let nothing disturb you
You are in a place
Where nothing can hurt you
If you feel a strange sensation,
It can do no harm
Like the spiral of creation,
It will soon move on

Sonnet- O Listen To...
O listen to the songs, so sweet of Birds;
0 listen to the sea-waves hitting shore;
0 listen to the noise of trampling herds;
0 listen to the breeze that slams the door.
0 listen to the animals all wild;
0 listen to the Wind that howls and screams;
0 listen to the cries of orphaned child;
0 listen to the shrieks of ghosts in dreams.
0 listen to the beggar asking alms;
0 listen to the noises made by Science;
0 listen to the children clapping palms;
0 listen to God-given Conscience.
0 listen within you and hear God's call;
The Holy Spirit dwells in good souls- all.

Healing Part Iii
Listen, listen
Listen to the cry
Of a world thats calling to you
Listen to the cry
Of the helpless souls that need you
Though you may have trepidation
You can not refuse
You will find your own salvation
In the path you choose
Listen, listen
Listen to the voice
That whispers in the silence
Listen as the voice
Solidifies your self reliance
Let the peace that youve discovered
Be a guiding light
Let the cry that youve uncovered
Set the world aright
You could not be closer to your maker
Never more or less alone
If you know thyself
Theres nothing else to know
You are whole
Listen, listen
Listen to the sound,
Let nothing disturb you
You are in a place
Where nothing can hurt you
If you feel a strange sensation,
It can do no harm
Like the spiral of creation,
It will soon move on

Listen more carefully
Hear your own inner sounds
Wait for the music
Listen
The poem is being written within you
It does not know your name
Or any name
But listen
Let its rhythm come
It needs not be anything any other poem has been before
Listen
Its your poem
Now
Listen listen listen
And write it slowly down.

Don't miss Out..
If you don't look you wont see
If you don't touch you wont feel
If you don't walk you wont get there
If you run you may trip
If you don't think.. it wont happen
If you don't fight you will stop
If you don't love you wont be loved
If you do you may not.
If you don't live you will die
If you don't laugh you will cry
If you don't listen you wont hear
If you don't read.... you missed this advice.

Healing Part I
Listen, listen
Listen to the voice,
The voice is an illusion
Listen to the voice,
Dont let the words confuse you
cause you need something to concentrate on,
Concentrate on me
You need something to meditate on,
Meditate on me
Listen, listen
Listen to your heart
Tune into the rhythm
Listen to your heart
Beating with precision
Like the waves upon the seaside,
It goes on and on
Like the spinning of the world,
It goes on and on
Listen, listen
Listen for the sound
That is not in the music
Only you can hear it,
Only you can use it
Its the sound of someone breathing,
Its the breath of life
Its the sound that you are weaving
With the thread of life
Listen, listen
Listen to the sound,
Let nothing disturb you
You are in a place
Where nothing can hurt you
If you feel a strange sensation,

Strength of interest
Listen for a fun;
Listen for news;
Listen for a reason;
Listen for a probe;
Listen to a scandal;
Listen to learn.
Listen to put it in use.
All evoke interest
And its intensity is
In ascending order.
But to get a listener
Surpasses all those interests.

The Beat Of My Heart
Ooh the beat of my heart
Ooh the beat of my heart
Always here
Ill be close to you
But you wont see me
On the street or underground
Ill be there somewhere
You can look around
You can listen out
But you wont find me
Beyond the shadow
Of a doubt
Oh Ill be there for you
Youve been living in another world
Ever since I met you
Dont wanna treat you like a little girl
I know you better
The beat of my heart
If you listen closely now
To the beat of my heart
Youll find your way
H-o-m-e
The beat of my heart
You wont be lonely
Girl Im here
And Ill always be
There when you need me
Close at hand
Never far away
Ill be there for you
Youre such a crazy little pretty girl
How could I ever forget you
You tried to take me to another world
But I wouldnt let you
And the beat of my heart
If you listen closely now
To the beat of my heart
You wont be lonely
The beat of my heart
Better listen to me now
The beat of my heart
Calling you
H-o-m-e
Ooh the beat of my heart
You wont be lonely
Youve been living in another world
Ever since I met you
Dont wanna treat you like a little girl
I know you better
And the beat of my heart
If you listen closely now
To the beat of my heart
You wont be lonely
The beat of my heart
Better listen closely now
The beat of my heart
And its calling you
H-o-m-e
Ooh the beat of my heart
If you listen closely now
For the beat of my heart
Youll find your way home
H-o-m-e
Ooh the beat of my heart
Ooh the beat of my heart
Its calling you
H-o-m-e
