Who Are You Listening To

This is your life
And yet somehow
They decide
What you're about
You learn your lines
And take your cues
But who are you listening to?

You change your clothes
And how you speak
You place your hope
In what they think
Before you know
There's no more you
Who are you listening to
Have you noticed how much you fear
All the voices you choose to hear?

Who are you listening to?
Who tells you what to do?
Who rules your thoughts at night?
Whose rules define your life?
Oh, you know it's up to you
So, who are you listening to?

This is your life
You have no choice
You will rely
On someone's voice
And it's all right
To question who
Who are you listening to?
Do the words that you believe
Set your soul and spirit free?

There's a quiet voice
Whispering in your heart
It's been there all along
It believes in you
It will tell the truth
Can't you hear it call?
