People when they’re talking and
Expressing points of view
Want for you to understand
The things they say to you

Sometimes it takes some patience
Just to hear the speaker out
With listening comprehension of
The speaker’s words throughout

Folks get so used to sound bites
And abbreviated quips
It makes them struggle keeping up
They end up watching lips

So listen as you’re hearing
Then you’ll come to understand
Hearing doesn’t have the weight
That listening commands
