lyrics

I met a man today in a crowded coffee shop
He wouldn't stop talking
He told me about God and guitars
And how most people don't understand him
But then he looked at me and said
I know you understand me
Maybe it's just a little bit, but, that's enough
We're on the same wavelength, he said
People stared and asked me if I was okay
They couldn't see past their own fear
They couldn't see what I could see in this man
He wasn't bad or unsafe, he needed someone to listen
But he didn't just want someone to listen, he needed it.

We are different from each other
You and I, all of us
We're the same sister and brother
Deep inside, all of us
If we could only learn to listen
To the cries inside all of us
Then love would be the victor
We are one, all of us

If we could just listen to each other
If we could just listen to our hearts
If we could just listen to what's right in front of us
We would know we're not alone

I want to listen to my brother
To his voice, this is love
I want to be a stronger sister
In your life, this is love
And I will fight for my mother
Who gave me life, she is love
I'm learning from my father
How to be, how to love

If we could just listen to each other
If we could just listen to our hearts
If we could just listen to what's right in front of us
We would know we're not alone

I choose to listen, sisters, brothers
I choose to listen to my heart
I choose to listen to what is right in front of me
And I know I'm not alone
We're not alone
