To Be Heard
It's not when the world is shouting
When it's loud and you can't hear a thing
It's when the world is quiet
And all you hear is silence
It's not when the earth is trembling
And you don't know where you're going
It's when the earth is still
And you've finally found the path
It's not when you're crying
And you can't seem to stop
It's when you're laughing
And you just want to stop
It's not when you're in pain
And you wish it could go away
It's when you're calm
And you await the on coming storms
It's not when you're exhausted
And can't keep your eyes open
It's when you're wide awake
And can't seem to sleep
When your mind is busy
And your heart is aching
When your chest is paining
And your eyes are tearing
When your mouth is moving
But nothing comes out
That is when we want
To hear and
To be heard
