An Ear That Will Listen
They walk through the doors
Of a city so barren
With a walkway so cracked
And the wind it's so cold
You're due in the office
Your lost in the hallway
Do you want a code white now?
Best swallow that pill...
Is it you in the corner
With those chattering teeth
There is hell in your eyelids
You can't even cry
Was it you I heard screaming
With nightmares uncounted
And the violence within you
It's a fight you didn't start
Lord send us an angel
With a knack for compassion
And an ear that will listen
To the mentally ill
