Empathetic Echoes: Discovering Strength in Vulnerability with Nadia Angelini's 'Listen'
Lyrics
I want to help you, but I don't know how
I am willing to assist you, but I'm unsure of the best way to do so.
I want to guide you, but I can't figure it out
I want to provide guidance, but I am struggling to understand the situation.
So tell me what you need
Please communicate your needs to me.
Tell me where you bleed
Share where you are hurting or facing challenges.
And I will listen, I can listen, Oh I will listen to you
I am committed to listening and being there for you.
You seem so stuck there holding on
You appear to be holding onto a persistent issue or narrative.
To some old story, that's still going strong
Describe what happened, the story that still affects you.
So tell me, what you did
Share your actions or choices in the situation.
And tell me, how you lived
Explain how you lived through the experience.
And I will listen, I can listen, Oh I will listen to you
I am committed to listening, no matter what you share.
Where can you go now
Where can you find support or direction at this point?
Can I keep you from falling down
Can I prevent you from experiencing further difficulties?
If you just keep floating, you won't drown
If you stay afloat, you won't succumb to challenges.
There's knowing that can be found
There is wisdom and understanding to be gained.
If you listen, can you listen, oh I will listen to you
If you listen, there is an opportunity for mutual understanding.
There's a voice, deep inside you
Within you, there is an inner voice that can guide you.
That will be there to guide you
Trust that inner voice to lead you in the right direction.
So tell me what do you hear
What do you perceive when you pay attention?
Can you quiet your worst fear
Can you silence your deepest fears and anxieties?
If you listen, can you listen, oh I will listen to you
Listening provides an opportunity for understanding and connection.
Where can you go now
Where else can you seek help or understanding?
Can I keep you from falling down
Can I be a source of support to prevent further struggles?
If you just keep floating, you won't drown
By staying afloat, you can avoid being overwhelmed.
There's knowing that can be found
There is valuable knowledge and insight to be discovered.
If you listen, I can listen, Oh I will listen to you
I am committed to listening and being there for you.
