The Universe Listened

Melissa Etheridge · The Awakening [2007]

We do our best

We stay in step

As time goes marching by

But there's something wrong

We don't start living

Until we almost die



[Chorus:]

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

And the universe listened



Well, I was born

A silver thorn

On a mid-west rose

I found out fast

Love is last

And it comes and goes

I made a deal

Hearts to steal

They will know my name

I'll pay the price

Any price

Just give me the fame



[Chorus]



A perfect song

My love wrong

So I ache the dark

A hero's close

The story goes on

But I hate the part

I chose to fall

Destroy it all

But I will rise again

I believe in love

Please send me love

And I will try again



[Chorus x2]



Remove the dark

Heal my heart

Make my body whole

I found my angels

Found my spirit

Guess I found my soul

Teach me how

Show me now

This light has taken me

I'm not ashamed

Help me explain

This awakening



[Chorus x2]
