Embracing Understanding: A Journey of Connection
Lyrics
I thought I heard you whisper "yes"
I believed I heard you say "yes"
That's what I told them anyhow
I conveyed that information to others
It's wishful thinking, I confess
This belief is based on hopeful thoughts, admitting it's not certain
But it's too late to pull back now
Despite uncertainties, it's too late to retract or change course
What now?
Prompting a question about the current situation or future actions
Staring face to face
In a direct confrontation, facing each other
I'll listen to you
Expressing a willingness to listen to the other person
Would you listen to me?
Requesting the other person to reciprocate and listen
It's what I can do
Stating an ability to listen
Could you do that for me?
Asking if the other person can do the same
We lost you somewhere long ago
Acknowledging the loss of the person in question in the past
You went to hide in your own thoughts
The person withdrew into their own thoughts
Here we are
The current situation or place they find themselves in
Looking into your eyes
Directly looking into the eyes of the person being addressed
I'll listen to you
Reiterating the willingness to listen
Would you listen to me?
Repeating the request for the other person to listen
It's what I can do
Reiterating the ability to listen
Could you do that for me?
Reiterating the request for reciprocity in listening
I'm building up a new reflection
Expressing the creation of a new perspective or image
I'm feeding our new connection
Nurturing a fresh connection between the individuals
I'm asking for your trust in me
Seeking trust from the other person
I'm singing out, singing out
Announcing the act of vocalizing thoughts or feelings
Can you hear me?
Pose of inquiry about the other person's ability to hear
Listen!
An emphatic call to pay attention and listen
I'll listen to you
Reiterating the commitment to listen
Would you listen to me?
Repeating the request for reciprocal listening
It's what I can do
Reiterating the capability to listen
Could you do that for me?
Reiterating the request for the other person to listen
We'll listen to us
Declaring a joint commitment to listen to each other
Would we listen to them?
Pondering whether they would listen to others
It's what we can do
Stating the collective ability to listen
It's what we can do
Reaffirming the collective capability to listen
I thought I heard you whisper "yes"
Recalling the earlier belief of hearing a positive response
