Listen young boys, and you young girls
I'm an old man nearly done with this world
I have served kings, and convicts as well
I have been witness to heaven and hellIf you think you're improving
The fortunes of children by sitting around
You talk when you all should be moving
So open your ears and go hit the groundOh what have I been saying
Don't just sit there praying
You'll only start, you'll only start
If you shut off your mind and you follow your heart
Your heart
Listen young boys, and young girls
I am a mother who's lived in this world
Longer than you, you don't have a clue
What it is like to surviveBut the truth is conventional wisdom
Made in the light I've seen your soul
Light that will not reach the prism
As long as you put your own passion on holdOh what have I been saying
Don't just sit there praying
You'll only start, you'll only start
If you shut off your mind and you follow your heart
Oh what have I been saying
Live the words you're praying
You'll only start, you'll only start
If you shut off your mind and you follow your heart
