Listen To Me

If I took away your shelter, put you on the street

If I took away your table and chairs, threw away your meat

Stole away your wife and child, see how lonesome you would be

Is that what it would take for you to listen to me

If I took away your legs and you could never walk

If I took away your words and you could never talk

Blinded your eyes and you could never see

Locked you up in shackles and you were no longer free

Is that what it would take for you to listen to me...

Listen to me, I am the thunder you refuse to hear

I am the Rock you can't hide under

You have nothing more to fear

This is a time for healing, the scars upon the land

My son, listen to me..

If I gave you a blanket, you could be warm

If I gave you a roof to stay under

Would that save you from the storm

Gave you all the money you could ever spend

Do you think that means your troubles would finally end

Is that what it would take for you to listen to me

Listen to me, I am the thunder you refuse to hear

I am the Rock you can't hide under

You have nothing more to fear

This is a time for healing, the scars upon the land

My son, listen to me

I give you the seed dig your roots deep in the land

Here's a blade to turn the soil grow somethin' in the sand

I give you all me blessings, my blood runs through your veins

I will stand beside you, even when it rains

My son listen to me

Listen to me, I am the thunder you refuse to hear

I am the Rock you can't hide under

You have nothing more to fear

This is a time for healing, the scars upon the land

My son, listen to me..
