About This Track

‘Listen’ by Beyoncé is a pop track from the album ‘B’Day - Anthology Video Album’, released in 2006. The lyrics centre on a plea to listen, framing inner music as something that cannot be completed, and as a path towards release and having dreams heard. A repeated address turns into a rejection of being pushed aside, with the song insisting on hearing the self rather than letting another will take over, before returning to the hook-like request, “Listen to the sound from deep within”.

"Listen" is a track by Beyoncé, from the album B'Day - Anthology Video Album, released 3rd September 2006. The track is 3:44 long. It's filed under Pop. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 15 articles about Beyoncé.

Lyrics

Listen

Listen to the song here in my heart
A melody I start but can't complete

Listen, 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 believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what you made of me
I followed the voice you gave to me
But now I gotta find my own

You should have listened
There is someone here inside
Someone I'd thought had died
So long ago

Oh, I'm screaming out, and my dreams will be heard
They will not be pushed aside or worked
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 believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what you made of me
I followed the voice you gave to me
But now I 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
Oh, now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what you've made of me
I followed the voice you think you gave to me
But now I gotta find my own
My own
