Listen (From the Motion Picture 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 made of me I followed the voice you gave to me But now I've gotta find my own You should have listened There is 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 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
