Lyrics

I've Been Listening

I've been listening

I've been listening

And I can feel it all over

And I can feel it all over

A true knowing

Core and root

Trembling

Make me over and anew

Make me over and anew

Make me over and anew

Make me over and anew

To be used

To be used

What kind of power?

Running through I can feel it all over

Running through I could feel it all over

I've been listening

I can feel it all over

Take it all away

Bending out of my own

Take it all away

Take it all away from me

I've been listening

To be used

I can feel it all over

To be used

Take it all away

To be used

I've been listening and I can feel it all over

All over, I can-

To be used

To be used
