Listen
By Øystein Rambøl
-----------------

Listen and you can hear it
The hum of a thousand voices
The blend of a thousand noises

Listen and you can hear
A baby’s cry
An old mans sigh

Listen and you can hear
The wind in the trees
The waves on the seas

Listen and you can hear it
The creak of a door left ajar
The sound of thunder from afar

Listen and you can hear
The soft sound of rain
The cry of something in pain

Listen and you can hear it
Laughter in the street
A sigh as two lips meet

Listen and you can hear
Rushing water, falling
A mother’s voice, calling

Listen and you can hear
The quiet pulsing song
A guitar, a drum, a gong

Listen and you can hear it
The universal backbeat
The world's heartbeat

Listen and you can hear it.
