Listen
Beyonce (Dreamgirls) Lyrics

Listen to the song here in my heart A melody I start but can't complete
The singer has a powerful message within her that she wants to express, but she struggles to fully convey it through her music alone.

Listen to the sound from deep within Its only beginning to find release
The singer's inner voice is finally starting to come out, but it still has a long way to go before it can truly be heard by others.

Oh the time has come for my dreams to be heard They will not be pushed aside and turned Into your own, all 'cause you won't listen
The singer's dreams and desires are important and valid, but they are being ignored by those around her who want to impose their own wishes instead.

Listen, I am alone at a crossroads I'm not at home in my own home And I've tried and tried To say what's on my mind You should have known
The singer is feeling lost and isolated, even within her own personal space. She has attempted to express herself, but feels misunderstood and unheard.

Now I'm done believing you You don't know what I'm feeling I'm more than what You've made of me I followed the voice, you gave to me But now I've gotta find my own You should have listened
The singer is no longer going to let others dictate her path or define her worth. She realizes that she must find her own way and be true to herself, despite the resistance she has faced from those who didn't listen to her before.

There was someone here inside Someone I thought had died So long ago Oh I'm screaming out And my dreams will be heard They will not be pushed aside or turned Into your own All 'cause you won't listen
The singer has been suppressing a part of herself that she thought had died long ago. She is now screaming out to be heard, and won't let others silence or disregard her dreams again.

I don't know where I belong But I'll be moving on If you don't, if you won't
The singer is uncertain about where she fits in the world, but she knows she can't stay in a situation that doesn't allow her to be true to herself. She is willing to move on if others refuse to listen and support her.

Now I am done believing you You don't know not what I am feeling I'm more than what you've made of me I followed the voice you think you gave to me But now I got to find my own, my own
The singer reiterates that she won't let others define her, and that she will find her own voice and sense of self. She has realized that no one else can truly know her inner thoughts and emotions, and she is determined to move forward in her own way.
