We have all heard what we wanted to hear Truth that sounds right to our ears We have all heard what we wanted to hear Truth that sounds right to our ears But what wisdom is there within us To live based on the feeling of our hearts How many times has instinct let us down Never to be thought through, never to be questioned Say what you really mean When your ambition calls you, calls you? For what use is there in praying If you will only hear what you want to hear? We have all heard what we wanted to hear Truth that sounds right to our ears We speak of fighting to resist this world But what about the battle within us? If we have chosen to live against the grain Then why are we all facing the same way? There is no difference between us and them If we all blindly seek truth from sentiments We have all heard what we wanted to hear Truth that sounds right to our ears We have all heard what we wanted to hear Truth that sounds right to our ears We have all heard what we wanted to hear Truth that sounds right to our ears
