The simple words that are said

We hear the beat of the music we love

To a song that echoes in our head

 

But we listen to what makes us smile

Or even sometimes brings a tear

We listen to a gentle word spoken

Or what causes us sometimes to fear

 

We hear the words that are spoken

But do we understand the message of a song

Or do we just stay out of tune

And continue to go along

 

If we open our hearts and open our ears

And listen to what we hear

To all the simple words spoken

To the melodies we love so dear

 

We will never miss a beat in life

And will always be attuned

To listen and understand the words

We often always hear
