Learning to Listen
How many no's
Before we seek yes?
How many swears
Before we learn to bless?
How many fights before we
Learn to love?
How many fall
Before we lift each other up?
How many wounds
Before it's right?
How many must lay down
So the others don't have to die?
How much yelling
Before we
Learn to listen?
I guess that's the point
We're missing
And in the end
As we are lying in bed
There is nothing left to discuss
We're all alone
And we must decide
Is this future up to us?
Is our future
Up to us?
How many wounds
Before we heal?
How many lives lost
Before it becomes real?
Why be understood
When we should seek to
Understand?
Why sell a man
A gun
When you can lend him
A hand?
How many politicians
Before we seek saints?
How many knives
Before we learn to paint
A better world
Than what we are living in?
We're doing our best
But our time's run thin
So we
Clutch our guns
Instead of our crosses
We tally the toll
And realize the losses
No numbers can be substitute
For life
You can't steal love
And sell people
Strife
If you feel like you've had enough
Think about giving up
Just know
Change is a long road
If you think you're done
This battle can't be won
Just know
You never walk this road
Alone
Before we seek yes?
How many swears
Before we learn to bless?
How many fights before we
Learn to love?
How many fall
Before we lift each other up?
How many wounds
Before it's right?
How many must lay down
So the others don't have to die?
How much yelling
Before we
Learn to listen?
I guess that's the point
We're missing
And in the end
As we are lying in bed
There is nothing left to discuss
We're all alone
And we must decide
Is this future up to us?
Is our future
Up to us?
How many wounds
Before we heal?
How many lives lost
Before it becomes real?
Why be understood
When we should seek to
Understand?
Why sell a man
A gun
When you can lend him
A hand?
How many politicians
Before we seek saints?
How many knives
Before we learn to paint
A better world
Than what we are living in?
We're doing our best
But our time's run thin
So we
Clutch our guns
Instead of our crosses
We tally the toll
And realize the losses
No numbers can be substitute
For life
You can't steal love
And sell people
Strife
If you feel like you've had enough
Think about giving up
Just know
Change is a long road
If you think you're done
This battle can't be won
Just know
You never walk this road
Alone
