Pete Bovo - Listen to My Heart, Pt. 1

How could you ever walk away
After all I've done for you?

Yeah, it's really complicated
The feeling of hope is blended in with the blues
And my heart is feeling so obligated (Uh huh)
I'm feeling motivated
To take on the world, making a difference
Getting the tension from those who love me
Well, I'm a tell you just how I feel
Moments where I felt like oppression was pressing me
Killing me too
I never once took the time to think
Recognizing the life I lived was dark
No light in the park (Man)
I remember all the hurt as a kid
I remember playing others, thinking I can overlook what I did
The pain was eating me alive
I couldn't figure out my drive
To keep the faith and fire burning inside (Nah)
I realized that I was trippin' though (I was)
A lot of troubles I was fishing fo'
Couldn't get it right until I left it, so
The view that I'm projecting is a reflection of me
I had to grasp the revolution and I hope you agree
Let's go

(How could you ever walk away)
Focus on my heart and tell me what you see
(After all I've done for you?)
Open up your ears and listen
(How could you ever walk away)
Listen to my heart, listen to my heart
(After all I've done for you?)
Just listen to my heart please

Gettin' a lil older
Gettin' a lil wiser
The brightness of my future
Need a super visor
I got my supervisor
The one I call my Father
His love, grace, and mercy is the true stabilizer
I really should've been dead
God saved me instead
His promises will prevail
He's made me the head not the tail
I told y'all I was coming again
I'm thanking God for the people that I can call as my friends
Because a friend is a keeper the one who rides to the end
It's quality over quantity, like ridin' a Benz
Feeling more and more victorious
God is so glorious
I got brighter days ahead
So, as I walk on this journey in progression of He
I'm gonna grasp the revolution, and I hope you agree
Leggo

(How could you ever walk away)
Focus on my heart and tell me what you see
(After all I've done for you?)
Open up your ears and listen
(How could you ever walk away)
Listen to my heart, listen to my heart
(After all I've done for you?)
Just listen to my heart please

Let he who has an ear, let him hear
My life is full of complex stories of what it means to be a man
In this land that we consider the free
Lord break these chains and make me free
Cause whom the son sets free is free indeed
And indeed, I plea to you the one who gave me air to breathe
And if I (Yeah)
Draw closer to you day by day
I have a lesser chance of falling
Or maybe getting swayed
Maybe feeing more important was the cause
Instead of reaching souls I was waiting for the applause
Forgetting in my mind what it meant to be a vessel
Or being used for good
Thinking of ways to impact my hood
I'm so tired of being selfish
Father come and change me cause I'm fading
And I need you to save me from all this raiding, Lord!
I need you undeniably
Bring this revolution my way, and set me free

(How could you ever walk away)
Focus on my heart and tell me what you see
(After all I've done for you?)
Open up your ears and listen
(How could you ever walk away)
Listen to my heart, listen to my heart
(After all I've done for you?)
Just listen to my heart please
