Listening - Ben Taylor

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?
