Listen (From "Dreamgirls")

Listen to the song here in my heart

A melody I start, but can't complete

Listen, hmm, 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 believin' you

You don't know what I'm feelin'

I'm more than what

You've made of me

I followed the voice you gave to me

But now I've gotta find my own

You should have listened

There was someone here inside

Someone I thought had died

So long ago

Oh, I'm screamin' out

And my dreams will be heard

They will not be pushed aside or 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 believin' you

You don't know what I'm feelin'

I'm more than what

You've made of me

I followed the voice you gave to me

But now I've 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

Now I'm done believin' you

You don't know what I'm feelin'

I'm more than what you made of me

I followed the voice you think you gave to me

But now I've gotta find my own, my own
