Listen Close
When we speak, we speak straight from the heart
Empty words keep on falling apart
When we walk on the ground it will shake
When we dance be prepared for a quake
All the things that are close to your heart
You somehow choose to keep them apart
And you run and you fall to the ground
you get up when there's no one around
When we speak, we speak straight from the heart
Empty words keep on falling apart
When we walk on the ground it will shake
When we dance be prepared for a quake
Now we sail with the wind of our breath
in a ocean of heaven and earth
Never look for a way in the past
All that happened is but shadows and dust
Listen to me close
Every word I say
It's the only way
And you gotta start from right now
You gotta do your thing
Gotta keep it real
There's no time to waste
It's the only way there's no other way now
I tried to say it slow
And I tried to give you time
It doesn't seem to work now
Make you understand
Make you feel my way
Shake you up from vain
Make you go insane
Wake up as I play it on my drum
When we cry all the rivers will flow
In their waterfalls we learn how to grow
Listen close to the words that I say
You can live, you can die in a day
When we speak, we speak straight from the heart
Empty words keep on falling, falling, falling apart
When we walk on the ground it will shake
When we dance be prepared for a quake
When we cry all the rivers will flow
In their waterfalls we learn how to grow
Listen close to the words that I say
You can live, you can die in a day
