Listen to the song here in my heart 00:02

A melody I start but can't complete 00:09

Listen, to the sound from deep within 00:16

It's only beginning 00:25

To find release 00:28

Oh, the time has come 00:32

For my dreams to be heard 00:35

They will not be pushed aside and turned 00:37

Into your own 00:41

All cause you won't 00:43

Listen 00:44

Listen, I am alone at a crossroads 00:49

I'm not at home, in my own home 00:54

And I've tried and tried 00:58

To say what's on my mind 01:00

You should have known 01:02

Oh, now I'm done believing you 01:04

You don't know what I'm feeling 01:09

I'm more than what you made of me 01:12

I followed the voice you gave to me 01:15

But now I gotta find my own 01:20

You should have listened 01:26

There is someone here inside 01:31

Someone I'd thought had died 01:35

So long ago 01:38

Oh, I'm screaming out, and my dreams will be heard 01:42

They will not be pushed aside or worked 01:47

Into your own 01:51

All cause you won't 01:53

Listen 01:55

Listen, I am alone at a crossroads 01:59

I'm not at home, in my own home 02:04

And I've tried and tried 02:08

To say what's on my mind 02:10

You should have known 02:12

Oh, now I'm done believing you 02:14

You don't know what I'm feeling 02:19

I'm more than what you made of me 02:22

I followed the voice you gave to me 02:26

But now I gotta find my own 02:31

I don't know where I belong 02:34

But I'll be moving on 02:37

If you don't 02:41

If you won't 02:44

Listen to the song here in my heart 02:49

A melody I start 02:57

But I will complete 03:00

Oh, now I'm done believing you 03:04

You don't know what I'm feeling 03:10

I'm more than what you've made of me 03:13

I followed the voice you think you gave to me 03:17

But now I gotta find my own 03:21

My own 03:28

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Listen to the song here in my heart

A melody I start but can't complete

Listen, to the sound from deep within

It's only beginning

To find release

Oh, the time has come

For my dreams to be heard

They will not be pushed aside and turned

Into your own

All cause you won't

Listen

Listen, I am alone at a crossroads

I'm not at home, in my own home

And I've tried and tried

To say what's on my mind

You should have known

Oh, now I'm done believing you

You don't know what I'm feeling

I'm more than what you made of me

I followed the voice you gave to me

But now I gotta find my own

You should have listened

There is someone here inside

Someone I'd thought had died

So long ago

Oh, I'm screaming out, and my dreams will be heard

They will not be pushed aside or worked

Into your own

All cause you won't

Listen

Listen, I am alone at a crossroads

I'm not at home, in my own home

And I've tried and tried

To say what's on my mind

You should have known

Oh, now I'm done believing you

You don't know what I'm feeling

I'm more than what you made of me

I followed the voice you gave to me

But now I gotta find my own

I don't know where I belong

But I'll be moving on

If you don't

If you won't

Listen to the song here in my heart

A melody I start

But I will complete

Oh, now I'm done believing you

You don't know what I'm feeling

I'm more than what you've made of me

I followed the voice you think you gave to me

But now I gotta find my own

My own
