Cryin' to Be Heard

Somebody's cryin' to be heard

And there's also someone

Who hears every word

Sail across the ocean

With your back against the wind

Listening to nothing save

The calling of a bird

And when the rain begins to fall,

Don't you start to curse

It may be just the tears

Of someone that you never heard

Somebody's cryin' to be heard

And there's also someone

Who hears every word

Reflected in the water

Is a face that you don't know

And isn't it surprising

When you find out it's your own?

And so you try to find out

Whether it is friend or foe

And what it wants to know,

And what it wants to know

Somebody's cryin' to be heard

And there's also someone

Who hears every word

Well, you're wrapped up in your little world

And no one can get in

You sit and think of everything then

You wonder where you've been

You put the blame on someone

That you've hardly ever known

And then you realize too late

The blame was all your own

Somebody's cryin' to be heard

And there's also someone

Who hears every word

Sail across the ocean

With your back against the wind

Listening to nothing save

The calling of a bird

And when the rain begins to fall,

Don't you start to curse

It may be just the tears

Of someone that you never heard

Somebody's cryin' to be heard

And there's also someone

Who hears every word
