Listen

Well I live too loud and I talk too much

But somehow I don’t see it as such

Seems like what I love the most

Is the sound of my own voice

I pray my list and I say my piece

I check You off but I’m incomplete

Seems like what I’m missing most

Is the sound of Your voice

So why is it so hard for me

To shut my mouth and let you speak

Why do I feel the need to always keep on talking

Well I know I need to hear from You

I know what I have got to do

To find what I’ve been missing

I’ve got to learn to listen

A wise man hears before he speaks

He knows he doesn’t know everything

I wish that sounded more like me

But I have got so far to go

Why is my first reaction

To give my own opinion

Like I could tell You something

You don’t already know
