Melissa Etheridge - The Universe Listened lyrics

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

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

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

And the universe listened

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

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

And the universe listened

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

And the universe listened

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

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

And the universe listened

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

And the universe listened
