Listen

[Verse 1]
Well, I live too loud, and I talk too much
But somehow I don't see it as such
Seems like what I love the most
Is the sound of my own voice
I pray my list, and I say my piece
I check you off, but I'm incomplete
Seems like what I'm missing most
Is the sound of Your voice

[Chorus]
So why is it so hard for me
To shut my mouth and let You speak?
Why do I feel the need
To always keep on talking?
Well, I know I need to hear from You
I know what I have got to do
To find what I've been missing, yeah
I've gotta learn to listen

[Verse 2]
A wise man hears before he speaks
He knows he doesn't know everything
I wish that sounded more like me
But I have got so far to go
But why is my first reaction
To give my own opinion?
Like I could tell you something
You don't already know

[Chorus]
So why is it so hard for me
To shut my mouth and let You speak?
Why do I feel the need
To always keep on talking?
Well, I know I need to hear from You
I know what I have got to do
To find what I've been missing, yeah
I've gotta learn to listen

[Bridge]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Listen, listen, yeah, listen, listen, yeah
Listen, listen, yeah, listen, listen, yeah
Listen, listen, yeah, listen, listen, yeah

[Chorus]
So why is it so hard for me
To shut my mouth and let You speak?
Why do I feel the need
To always keep on talking?
Well, I know I need to hear from You
I know what I have got to do
To find what I've been missing, yeah
I've gotta learn to listen
So why is it so hard for me
To shut my mouth and let You speak?
Why do I feel the need
To always keep on talking?
Oh, I know I need to hear from You
I know what I have got to do
I've gotta find out what I'm missing, yeah
I've gotta learn to listen

[Outro]
Listen, listen, yeah, listen, listen, yeah
Listen, listen, yeah, listen, listen, yeah
Listen, listen, yeah, listen, listen, yeah
Listen, listen, yeah, listen, listen, yeah
Listen, listen, yeah, listen, listen, yeah
Listen, listen, yeah, listen, to listen
