Embracing Change: Little Known's Soulful Plea to Listen and Understand
Lyrics
Sit alone
Sitting alone, feeling solitude
Alone at night
Experiencing loneliness during the night
Won't you ever join in
Expressing a desire for companionship
And say to me
Requesting communication and honesty
What you want to hear
Asking to hear what is truly wanted or needed
I won't get under your skin
Committing not to bother or irritate
But I feel the shame
Feeling regret or guilt for past actions
That I did before
Recalling previous feelings of shame
And I want to change myself
Expressing a desire for personal change
But I need you to see my side
Requesting understanding of one's perspective
Sometimes
Acknowledging variability in emotions
And why won't you change your mind
Questioning resistance to changing opinions
Stay a while
Encouraging staying and actively listening
And Listen
The little known in the diamond sky
Metaphorically referring to little-known aspects in the vastness
Won't you ever look in
Inviting exploration of hidden facets
And say to me anything
Encouraging open and honest communication
And I will try listen
Promising an attempt to listen and understand
But I feel the shame
Reiterating past feelings of shame
That I did before
Expressing a desire for personal transformation
And I want to change myself
Desiring change and improvement
But I need you to see my side
Seeking empathy and understanding
Sometimes
Recognizing the need for mutual understanding
And why won't you change your mind
Questioning resistance to changing perspectives
Stay a while
Encouraging continued presence and attentive listening
And Listen
Cause I need you to see my side
Emphasizing the importance of understanding
Sometimes
Highlighting variability in perspectives
And why won't you change your mind
Questioning resistance to changing opinions
Stay a while
Encouraging prolonged presence and attentive listening
And Listen
Stay awhile
Requesting an extended stay
Stay awhile
Repeating the request for a longer stay
Stay awhile
Reiterating the plea for a prolonged presence
Stay awhile
Repeatedly urging for a sustained period of understanding
