Listen to Me

"Listen to me"

The first words I remember hearing from my dad

"Listen to me"

He started every conversation that we had

"Listen to me, my youngest son

There are some jobs that must be done

Listen to me, listen to me"

"Listen to me"

The key to furthering a promising career

"Listen to me

Follow your orders, never question what you hear

Listen to me

It may seem hard, but you'll be useful as a guard

Listen to me, listen to me"

The path to being good

Is paved by doing what you should

That's what the Pharisees are for

They know the law and so much more

Hearing what they say

Just listen and obey

That is the way, the only way

"Listen to me"

I told the council I'd be proud to volunteer

"Listen to me"

The leaders told me to be firm and show no fear

"Listen to me"

The priests confessed for doing this I would be blessed

Listen to me

And so I marched in line

I took the spot I was assigned

I listened for the signal when

It was our time to apprehend

And when I heard it sound

It sound so clear

I saw a sword appear

I lost my ear

And somewhere in that violence

Came such surreal silence

The only one who reached to ease my pain

Was the very one we'd come to put in chains

He healed me

His enemy

He healed me

And I don't know why or how

Who do I listen to now?

Oh, who do I listen to now?

Who do I listen to?

Who do I listen to now?
