about

The three Keys to Peace are:
1. Listening
2. Empathy (See Volume 1)
3. Assertiveness

lyrics

CHORUS:
Are you listening?
With your eyes
And your ears

Make sure you’re listening
With you heart
And your feelings

I know your listening
When you can repeat it
Listen up!
‘Cause peace ain’t easy

BRIDGE:
I could use your help
I don’t think can do this by myself

V1:
I got something important to tell you
Gather around
I’d rather not shout it

Come in closer
And show me you hear me
Snap if you feel me
Clap if you with me

I know distractions can happen
Find your way back in
Ask your self

CHORUS:
Are you listening?
With your eyes
And your ears

Make sure you’re listening
With you heart
And your feelings

I know your listening
When you can repeat it

Listen up?
‘Cause peace ain’t easy

CHORUS:
Are you listening?
With your eyes
And your ears

Make sure you’re listening
With you heart
and your feelings

I know your listening
When you can repeat it

Listen up!
‘Cause peace ain’t easy

BRIDGE:
I could use your help
I don’t think can do this by myself

V2:
Yo, can I get a word from the wise?
To combat the rhythm
The myth
The lies

It’s like,
Talking to a crowd
Who can really hear you?

Surrounded by people
Do they really care?

How will I know?
Unless you’re willing to show

Open your heart and mind
And let your words flow

I will listen to you
And you will listen to me

Just by listening
We will spread peace

CHORUS:
Are you listening?
With your eyes
and your ears

Make sure you’re listening
With you heart
and your feelings

I know your listening
When you can repeat it

Listen up
‘Cause peace ain’t easy

CHORUS:
Are you listening?
With your eyes
And your ears

Make sure you’re listening
With you heart
And your feelings

I know your listening
When you can repeat it

Listen up?
‘Cause peace ain’t easy
