Who Are You Listening To

This is your life and yet somehow

They decide what you're about

You learn your lines and take your cues

But who are you listening to?

You change your clothes and how you speak

You place your hope in what they think

Before you know, there's no more you

Who are you listening to?

Have you noticed how much you fear

All the voices you choose to hear

Who are you listening to?

Who tells you what to do?

Who rules your thoughts at night?

Whose rules define your life?

Oh, you know it's up to you

So who are you listening to?

This is your life, you have no choice

You will rely on someone's voice

And it's all right to question who

Who are you listening to?

Do the words that you believe

Set your soul and spirit free?

There's a quiet voice whispering in your heart

It's been there all along

It believes in you, it will tell the truth

Can't you hear it call?
