I Can Hear You

I Can Hear You

Verse 1

We all learn how to crawl

And eventually we learn how to walk

Before we head out into the world

And build a life for ourselves

You're having difficulties walking on your own

And when you fall

No one's there to reach out a hand

For you to get back up

Using the strength that you have

Won't be enough to get off the ground

Verse 2

We all learn how to make sounds

And eventually we learn how to speak

Before we head out into the world

And build a life for ourselves

When you fell trapped

No one's willing to comfort you

To calm your fears

Bridge 1

To affirm is to agree it's true

And when you scream, I feel it too

I can hear you

Verse 3

We all learn how to take commands

And eventually we learn to make a stand

For all that is important to us

You mean the world to me

Chorus

I can hear you

Feel free to tell me what you need

My undivided attention is yours for the taking

If you need to express yourself

I'll be the witness by your side

If you call and no one answers

Know that I can hear you
