Listening For Whispers

Another day is gone
And I can't find a shooting star
Is this a message
Or an acid test of faith?

I've prayed a thousand times
But I can't hear a sole reply
This "waiting patiently"
Is more than I can take

She was afraid of mine
Awaiting some angelic vision
She lost a lifetime
Searching for a sign

[chorus]
Don't you know that
We are listening for whispers
When we cannot hear the screams

The sun is blinding us
And still we look for matches
We cannot just deny this anymore

He was a fortune teller
Always working late night
He spent his days in search of something
That was real

She was a beggar in the park
Where he was contemplating
She said that he was blind
'Cause God is here

[chorus]
