If you could hear me
What could happen to us
If you could hear me
As long as we don't lose our strength
If you could hear me
And fight for what's in front of us
If you could hear me
Until our light wins out over the darkness
If you could hear me
Hear what I feel
If you could hear me
Hear, my God
You would hear that I'm not worried about tomorrow
Or something hidden
You would hear that I love life, I love people
Why do people wage wars?
Just think of how long people have existed
You would hear that I'm fine, preserving my courage
Emerging again in spite of the long nights
You would hear that I'm not worried about tomorrow
If you could hear me
You're impassively drifting out to sea
If you could hear me
Just going away, with no destination, no return
If you could hear me
It's clearly too hard for you to move upright
If you could hear me
You are tired, you are cold and your head is empty
{I'm your conscience telling you what's right and wrong
I'm the voice in your head, the words to this song
I'm like a whisper you can hardly hear
But I'm as loud as the truth, don't hide and fear}
You would hear that I'm not worried about tomorrow
Or something hidden
You would hear that I love life, I love people
Why do people wage wars?
Just think of how long people have existed
You would hear that I'm fine, preserving my courage
Emerging again in spite of the long nights
You would hear that I'm not worried about tomorrow
If you could hear me
{Mr. Politician, Mr. President}
If you could hear me
{Every criminal and ghetto resident}
If you could hear me
{Sister taking drugs and the crooked cops}
If you could hear me
{If you can hear me, I'm asking you to stop
I'm the voice between what's right and wrong
And I'm hoping you can hear me like your favorite song
I'm with you, every move you make
I'm the voice in your conscience, it's not too late}
You would hear that I'm not worried about tomorrow
Or something hidden
You would hear that I love life, I love people
Why do people wage wars?
Just think of how long people have existed
You would hear that I'm fine, preserving my courage
Emerging again in spite of the long nights
You would hear that I'm not worried about tomorrow
