Listen (From the Motion Picture "Dreamgirls")

Listen to the song here in my heart
 A melody I start, but can't complete
 Listen, hmm, to the sound from deep within
 It's only beginning to find release
 Oh, the time has come for my dreams to be heard
 They will not be pushed aside and turned
 Into your own, all 'cause you won't listen
 Listen, I am alone at a crossroads
 I'm not at home in my own home
 And I've tried and tried to say what's on my mind
 You should have known, oh
 Now I'm done believin' you
 You don't know what I'm feelin'
 I'm more than what you made of me
 I followed the voice you gave to me
 But now I've gotta find my own
 You should have listened
 There is someone here inside
 Someone I thought had died
 So long ago
 Oh, I'm screamin' out
 And my dreams will be heard
 They will not be pushed aside or turned
 Into your own, all 'cause you won't listen
 Listen, I am alone at a crossroads
 I'm not at home in my own home
 And I've tried and tried to say what's on my mind
 You should have known, oh
 Now I'm done believin' you
 You don't know what I'm feelin'
 I'm more than what you made of me
 I followed the voice you gave to me
 But now I've gotta find my own
 I don't know where I belong
 But I'll be moving on
 If you don't, if you won't
 Listen to the song here in my heart
 A melody I start, but I will complete
 Now I'm done believin' you
 You don't know what I'm feelin'
 I'm more than what you made of me
 I followed the voice you think you gave to me
 But now I've gotta find my own
 My own
