Denise Gardiner – Had I Listened lyrics

Verse 1: Had I listened to the wind,
All the songs that might have been
Would not be bound up in my heart;
My freedom would have known a better start.

Verse 2: Had I listened to the wind,
I’d heard a voice call from within
To let my soul soar wild and free;
And you my love would know a better me.

Chorus 1: But I pretended not to hear,
And I pretended not to see
You, my love,
Soar wild and free as the wind.

Verse 3: Had I looked up to the sun,
My chains would have become undone
To let me walk up to the sky;
I would have seen my thoughts reach far and wide.

Verse 4: Had I listened to the wind,
Had I looked up to the sun,
Had I lived in all my dreams,
I would know what loving really means.

Chorus 1: But I pretended not to hear,
And I pretended not to see
You, my love,
Soar wild and free as the wind.

Bridge: (Instrumental)

Verse 5: Now when I try to see and hear,
I am seldom reaching near
The secret place where you lie,
The place you hide with your smile.

Chorus 2: And I pretend that I’m alright;
And I pretend to glimpse the light
Where you, my love,
Soar wild and free as the wind.

Coda: Had I listened to the wind;
If I could only hear the wind;
Oh I wish I could hear the wind.
