All for More - Listen Closely

Can you please take a deep breath I promise you I'm not here to steal your liberty
I just want to find my own in this land that you call opportunity
How did I cease to be a brother and a man
How could I possibly understand how much I cost you in taxes
What line did I cross to stop being human in your eyes
If only you could see
Turn your head and
Listen Closely
Listen Closely
Listen Closely you might hear something new
And now you can see we're not the animals you say we are
So why do you believe that we deserve a cage
Turn your head from your humanity again
While you do so our babies are scared and alone
I'm not the one who brought this war to your shores
No I'm not the one who spilled your brother's blood
How did I cease to be a brother and a man
How could I possibly understand how much I cost you in taxes
What line did I cross to stop being human in your eyes
If only you could see
Turn your head and
Listen Closely
Listen Closely
Listen Closely you might hear something new
What line did I cross to stop being human in your eyes
If only you could see
Turn your head and
Listen Closely
Listen Closely
Listen Closely you might hear something like
The crying of our brother
The crying of our sister
The crying of our father
The crying of our mother
