Listening

Another number for another year
Another blessing disguised by fear
How come everything good seems so hard to hear when Im listening
And now Im trying to find myself
And all I need is a little help
But everybody else is busy helping themselves
Am I listening?
Oh listening
I get the feeling like I can't go on here
How much longer? How much longer? Oh
Believing that I dont belong here
How much longer?
Tell me
I walk so far but I get can't near
So much talking the point disappears
So its only when listening it comes through clear
Ive been listening
I want so much that I aim too high
I test the water and feel defined*
So its no ones wonder my mouth gets dry
Ive been listening
Oh listening
Still I get the feeling like I can't go on here
How much longer? How much longer? Oh
Believing that I dont belong here
How much longer?
Tell me
I was looking for a way to bow out gracefully
But when I try to catch some understanding
Everyone wants to race with me
I get the feeling like I can't go on here
How much longer? How much longer? Oh
Believing that I dont belong here
How much longer?
Tell me how much longer?
How much longer?
