Song Description

This is a post breakup song about finding that light of hope in the darkest of times. It's a stripped down folkie sound with a powerful vocal melody and acoustic guitar picking.

Lyrics

I Am Listening (Stacy Cole)

Lord, you know that I've made mistakes
And if I don't have it, give me what it takes
Help me to change in all the ways
That I need to...for you

Maybe it's easier than it seems
To give it up, these worldly things
To silence the beast
And starve it when it wants to feast

Chorus:
When I am cold
Build me a fire that glows
A little light in the night
The darkest night of my soul

And when I am weary
Sing me a tune that really speaks
Moves the mountains and the trees
I am listening

We come to you with empty arms
Standing on the edge of the world
We carry no jewels or charms
And the wind, it blows, and it blows

Make me ready and able
To let go of all the things I hold
And if I'm too afraid
Make me strong, make me bold

I know that I can really love
Though my heart's been dragged through the mud
Wash it clean
So it can be fit to be seen

And if I don't know how
Whisper it in my ear
And if I don't hear the sound
Shout it loud and clear

I want to love more than anything
More than anything in the world
And if you've got the secret
Won't you let me know?

Chorus:
When I am cold
Build me a fire that glows
A little light in the night
The darkest night of my soul

And when I am weary
Sing me a tune that really speaks
Moves the mountains and the trees
I am listening

I am listening
