Listen To Me Lyrics - Bill Miller

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

If I took away your table and chairs and 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, you could never walk 

If I took away your words, you could never talk 

Blinded your eyes, you could never see 

Locked you up in shackles, 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, they 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, just 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 

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

My son, listen to me
