Stop and Listen

Stop and Listen

listen to the sounds of life
the bird's song...
the leaves' whistle...
have you noticed?
Sometimes you should just stop and listen.

listen to the sounds of life
the wave's roar...
the wind's howl...
can you hear it?
Sometime you should just stop and listen.

listen to the sounds of life
the thunder's crack....
the rain's drumroll...
have you heard it?
sometimes you should just stop and listen.

i have listened to the sounds of life
the screams at late at night
heart beating.....
faster....
faster....
head spinning.....
faster....
faster....
tears falling......
faster.....
faster.....
hands,
yearning for someone
to pull them out of
the nightmare they called
home....reaching
higher....
higher....
calls for help getting....
louder...
louder...

BUT WAIT!

Eighteen years of misery and pain,
don't you think it's time for a change?

I wanna hear the sounds of life.
I made a change for the better

as the months fly by
faster....
faster...
and friendships grow
deeper...
deeper...
emotions become
clearer....
clearer...
and love for others and myself grow
stronger.....
stronger....
now those screams have begun to get
softer....
softer....
today they're gone.

Can you hear the sounds of life?
