about
I wrote this to remind myself to keep my ears and heart open to all the stories in the world, the heart breaking ones and the ones that make my stomach turn, and even when I feel hopeless to change a thing, listening is what I have to offer a friend, or the world.
lyrics
Listen for Your Voice
Come to me quietly from the other side of the world.
And tell me a story of how your day went.
For I am far away I can not see.
How the world looks from where you are.
Chorus:
And I will listen for your voice,
I will listen for your voice,
I will listen for your voice from here.
Families traveling across open lands,
Carrying all they own on their backs.
And by their sides their holding their children’s hands,
Hoping that God has a better plan.
Chorus:
And I will listen for your voice,
I will listen for your voice,
I will listen for your voice from here.
Bridge:
All of us living under one sun,
Thinking that we are alone.
Silently praying for peace to come,
All of our stories are one.
Somewhere the summer fruit is falling from the trees.
Somewhere there are bombs falling from the skies.
Someone is thinking there’s just one of me.
We all make the difference in this life.
Chorus:
And I will listen for your voice,
I will listen for your voice,
I will listen for your voice,
I will listen for your voice from here.
