Listen and Learn
Chorus
If you wanna learn,
Then you gotta listen.
If you wanna grow,
Then you gotta pay attention. (2 times)
The more you know then the more you grow.
If you listen you can learn and gain the much more.
It’s not complex; it’s really easy.
Open up your ears and your mind; believe me.
Completely listen to what your parents say.
Don’t forsake; keep them in your heart always.
And when you lie down, it will lead you.
And when you’re awake, it will teach you.
Chorus
If you wanna learn,
Then you gotta listen.
If you wanna grow,
Then you gotta pay attention. (2 times)
So the older shall teach the younger
To help them through the storms, through the rains, and the thunder
And when they wonder, but the older must be patient
And younger listen to what the older is saying
Listen (listen) and you will learn (learn)
Then walk it out (walk it out) now what you heard (what you heard)
Now by the Word, each and everyday
It’s a lamp that’ll lead you on your way. Ok
Chorus
If you wanna learn,
Then you gotta listen.
If you wanna grow,
Then you gotta pay attention. (2 times)
Bridge
Though times may be hard, communication between
Generations the gap may seem large, but
What will it take to put an end to this debate and
Elate the understanding that we could create?
Young and old, hand in hand, easily can be
With the help of God we can make it if we
Listen and learn.
Now we should all live a life to God’s teaching.
By faith and believing; to give your life meaning.
And righteousness, and a life full of purpose
The Word is so amazing, giving hope to the hopeless.
And God loves you, and provides you
To instruct you, and invites you;
But first you got to listen, then you will learn
On how to gotta live in this mixed-up world.
Chorus
If you wanna learn,
Then you gotta listen.
If you wanna grow,
Then you gotta pay attention. (2 times)
Bridge 2
A world of many faces many races
Complex situations, a world of many nations
Imagine (imagine), grasping the opportunity
To live and give in perfect (perfect) harmony
Lives we shape (we), actions we teach (we),
With the help of God (we) can make it if (we) listen and learn
Chorus
If you wanna learn,
Then you gotta listen.
If you wanna grow,
Then you gotta pay attention. (2 times)
