LISTEN
by Beyonce Knowles
Listen to the song here in my heart.
A melody I've started
But can't complete.
Listen to the sound from deep within.
It's only beginning to find release.
Oh, the time has come
For my dreams to be heard.
They will not be pushed aside
And turned into your own,
All 'cause you won't listen.
[Chorus:]
Listen, I am alone at a crossroads.
I'm not at home, in my own home.
And I tried and tried
To say what's on my mind.
You should have known.
Oh, now I'm done believing you.
You don't know what I'm feeling.
I'm more than what you made of me.
I followed the voice you gave to me.
But now I gotta find my own.
You should have listened.
There is someone here inside.
Someone I'd thought had died
So long ago.
Oh, I'm screaming out
For my dreams to be heard.
They will not be pushed aside
And turned into your own,
All 'cause you won't listen.
[Chorus]
I don't know where I belong
But I'll be moving on.
If you don't,
If you won't.
Listen to the song here in my heart.
A melody I've started
But I will complete.
Oh, now I'm done believing you.
You don't know what I'm feeling.
I'm more than what you made of me.
I followed the voice you think you gave to me.
But now I gotta find my own.
My own.
