The Prophet Speaks Lyrics - Van Morrison

When the prophet speaks, mostly no one listens 

When the prophet speaks and no one hears 

Only those who have ears to listen 

Only those that are trained to hear 

Come closer now, I'll tell you what they whisper 

Closer now, we'll whisper it in your ear 

What big ears you've got when you get the details 

Do you understand, do I make it clear? 

When the prophet speaks, yeah, no one listens 

When the prophet speaks, mostly no one hears 

Only those that are trained to listen 

Only those who have ears to hear

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

When the prophet speaks, yeah, no one listens 

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby 

Don't you have no fear 

You gotta get the truth on what is happening 

When the prophet speaks, have to make it clear 

Come closer now and I will whisper 

Whisper the secret in your ear 

What thick ears you've got when you get all the details 

Do you understand, do I make myself clear? 

When the prophet speaks, you've got to listen 

When the prophet speaks, you've got to get the truth 

When the prophet speaks, don't need no explanation 

When the prophet speaks, have to make it move 

Prophet speaks, no one listens 

When the prophet speaks, mainly nobody hears 

Only those that are trained to listen 

Only those who have ears to hear
