Can You Hear Me

[Songtekst van "Can You Hear Me"]

[Verse 1]
I've seen this house of plenty
I've seen this place before
I've seen this house with many faces, skeletons and more
How it started off with nothing, just a cradle luck of birth
I've seen this place, believe in love, Mother Nature, Earth
I've seen this house grow stronger
I've seen this place get tough
I've seen this place go supersize me, little's good enough
Every hour lasts for nothing, every minute racing on
I've seen this place losing faith, now wonders where it's gone

[Pre-Chorus]
I can't help you (Yeah)
If you won't help yourself (Oh)
Love won't find you (Oh yeah)
If you can't find yourself
Oh, sweet deliverance
Put your hands up
Sing me a song

[Chorus]
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me? (Ooh)
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me? (Ooh)
Can you hear me calling with my back against the wall?

[Verse 2]
I've seen this place with money
I've seen this place got rich
I've seen this place promiscuously acting like a bitch
Dreams of milk and honey are hackles for the poor
Acting out so civilized, while stating more is more

[Pre-Chorus]
I can't help you (Yeah)
If you won't help yourself (Oh)
Love won't find you (Hmm)
If you can't find yourself
Oh, sweet deliverance
Put your hands up
Sing me a song

[Chorus]
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me? (Ooh)
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me? (Ooh)
Can you hear me calling with my back against the wall?
(Back against the wall, back against the wall)

[Verse 3]
I've seen this place got angry
I've seen this house at war
I've seen this place tear many races, claiming wills of God
And if it is one for the money, and it is two for the show
Then read me out my civil rights, and watch me while I go

[Chorus]
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me? (Ooh)
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me? (Ooh)
Can you hear me calling with my back against the wall? Oh
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me? (Ooh)
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me? (Ooh)
Can you hear me calling with my back against the wall? Yeah-eah

[Outro]
Back against the wall, back against the wall (Yeah-eah)
Back against the wall, back against the wall (With my back against the wall, yeah-eah)
