Can You Hear Me

I've seen this house of plenty
I've seen this place before
I've seen this house with many faces
Skeletons and more
How it started off with nothing
Just a cradle luck of birth
I've seen this place, believe in love
Mother Nature, Earth

I've seen this house grow stronger
I've seen this place get tough
I've seen this place go supersize me
Little's good enough
Every hour lasts for nothing
Every minute racing on
I've seen this place, losing faith
Now wonders where it's gone

I can't help you
If you won't help yourself
Love won't find you
If you can't find yourself
Oh, sweet deliverance
Put your hands up
Sing me a song

Can you hear me
Can you hear me, ooh
Can you hear me
Can you hear me, ooh
Can you hear me
Calling with my back against the wall

I've seen this place with money
I've seen this place got rich
I've seen this place promiscuously
Acting like a bitch
Dreams of milk and honey (Dreams of milk and honey)
Shackles for the poor
Acting out so civilized
While stating more is more

I can't help you
If you can't help yourself
Love won't find you
If you won't find yourself
Oh, sweet deliverance
Put your hands up
And sing me a song

Can you hear me
Can you hear me, ooh
Can you hear me
Can you hear me, ooh
Can you hear me
Calling with my back against the wall
Back against the wall
Back against the wall

I've seen this place got angry
I've seen this house at war
I've seen this place tear many races
Claiming wills of God
And if it is one for the money
And it is two for the show
Then read me out my civil rights
And watch me while I go

Can you hear me
Can you hear me, ooh (Yeah)
Can you hear me
Can you hear me, ooh (Yeah)
Can you hear me
Calling with my back against the wall

Can you hear me
Can you hear me, ooh (Yeah)
Can you hear me
Can you hear me, ooh (Yeah)
Can you hear me
Calling with my back against the wall (Yeah)
My back against the wall
My back against the wall (Yeah)
My back against the wall
With my back against the wall (Yeah)
