learning to listen - nathaniel paul lyrics
verse 1
how many no’s
before we seek yes
how many swears
before we learn to bless
how many fights before we
learn to love
how many fall
before we lift each other up
how many wounds
before it’s right
how many must lay down
so the others don’t have to die
how much yelling
before we
learn to listen
i guess that’s the point
we’re missing
chorus
and in the end
as we are lying in bed
therе is nothing left to discuss
we’re all alonе
and we must decide
is this future up to us
is our future
up to us
verse 2
how many wounds
before we heal
how many lives lost
before it becomes real
why be understood
when we should seek to
understand
why sell a man
a gun
when you can lend him
a hand
how many politicians
before we seek saints
how many knives
before we learn to paint
a better world
than what we are living in
we’re doing our best
but our times run thin
chorus
so we
clutch our guns
instead of our crosses
we tally the toll
and realize the losses
no numbers can be substitute
for life
you can’t steal love
and sell people
strife
outro
if you feel like you’ve had enough
think about giving up
just know
change is a long road
if you think you’re done
this battle can’t be won
just know
you never walk this road
alone
