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, hmmm
 There's a jackhammer here, 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
