Pay Attention

Pay attention (Instrumental of Beyonce Listen )

Pay attention 
To the things that's happening 
In this world 
That we live in 
It's sad to see (seeeee)
Pay attention, oooohhh ohhhh
It's becoming too much 
So what do we do 
To find the clue 
Oh, so much have changed 
People do anything for clout and fame 
Morals and values are not the same 
Grab a hold 
Gain back control 
Control 

Pay attention 
To what you see in this world 
Please be that change 
You can  do it, girl 
Don't let one tell you otherwise 
You are the prize 
You can do 
What you put your mind to
Please hear what I'm saying 
It's more to me than what you see 
Ooohhhh, I'm telling the truth 
This world needs healing 
Its morals are hitting deep 
Thank the Lord every time you are not weak 
Pray, and we shall find the way 
Pay attention 

Open up your eyes 
Even if you cry 
It's relief 
Pay attention  
Don't you see 
The world is tearing apart 
Where do I start 
Do I stay , do I go
Do I do things from the heart or for show 
How do I grow 
Please help. I don't know 
Guide direct my path show me where to go 
I'm still lost , trying to get found 
I'm going to turn it around 
This is my plea 
Lord help thee 
Pay attention 

Pay attention 
To what you see in this world 
Please be that change 
You can  do it, girl 
Don't let one tell you otherwise 
You are the prize 
You can do 
What you put your mind to
Please hear what I'm saying 
It's more to me than what you see 
Ooohhhh, I'm telling the truth 
This world needs healing 
Its morals are hitting deep 
Thank the Lord every time you are not weak 
Pray, and we shall find the way 
Pay attention 

You should have paid attention 
To all the facts 
The lord always have your back 
When you feel incomplete 
Ooooooohhh ohhhhhh
Now I'm telling you 
The world is changing 
Grab your Bible 
Read it please 
It helps you on this journey 
Open your eyes 
Pay attention 

Pay attention 
To what you see in this world 
Please be that change 
You can  do it, girl 
Don't let one tell you otherwise 
You are the prize 
You can do 
What you put your mind to
Please hear what I'm saying 
It's more to me than what you see 
Ooohhhh, I'm telling the truth 
This world needs healing 
Its morals are hitting deep 
Thank the Lord every time you are not weak 
Pray, and we shall find the way 
Pay attention 

Repeat until chorus fades
