Listen
The Distance & Marco Polar Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I listen to You, That's when I learn
Of Your love for me, and Your longing to lead
Me through every turn
So I'll go with You to a quiet place
Where Your heart can be heard
And I will listen to You
I will listen and learn
Seems my life is filled with so many words
Always doing my very best to be heard
And I've been quick to tell You
What I think You should do
But what I really need the most
Is just the hear from You

When I listen to You, That's when I learn
Of Your love for me, and Your longing to lead
Me through every turn
So I'll go with You to a quiet place
Where Your heart can be heard
And I will listen to You
I will listen and learn

Listening isn't easy, listening can be hard
It tears at the defenses
Of words that guard our hearts
Though it may be hard to hear
I'll put aside my words
And wait to hear from You

When I listen to You, That's when I learn
Of Your love for me, and Your longing to lead
Me through every turn
So I'll go with You to a quiet place
Where Your heart can be heard
And I will listen to You
I will listen and learn

I will wait for You in silence
I will wait to learn from You
Please meet me in this quiet moment
And whisper Your words of truth

When I listen to You, That's when I learn
Of Your love for me, and Your longing to lead
Me through every turn
So I'll go with You to a quiet place
Where Your heart can be heard
And I will listen to You
I will listen and learn

When I listen to You, That's when I learn
Of Your love for me, and Your longing to lead
Me through every turn
So I'll go with You to a quiet place
Where Your heart can be heard
And I will listen to You
And I'll go with You to a quiet place
Where Your heart can be heard
And I'll listen to You




And I'll learn from You
I will listen and learn

Line by Line Meaning

When I listen to You, That's when I learn
I gain understanding of Your love and guidance for me when I quiet myself and attend to Your voice


Of Your love for me, and Your longing to lead
You care for me and desire to show me the way forward


Me through every turn
You want to guide me through all the twists and turns of life


So I'll go with You to a quiet place
I'm willing to follow You to a place where I can hear You better


Where Your heart can be heard
Where I can hear the purity of Your voice without any distractions


And I will listen to You
I will pay attention to Your voice above my own thoughts and opinions


I will listen and learn
I will humbly receive Your wisdom and insight


Seems my life is filled with so many words
My life is often noisy and tuned into many voices other than Yours


Always doing my very best to be heard
I strive to make my own voice heard above the rest


And I've been quick to tell You
I often try to instruct and advise You


What I think You should do
What I feel is best for me or others without considering Your purposes


But what I really need the most
What I truly need above all else


Is just the hear from You
Is to listen to You and receive Your direction


Listening isn't easy, listening can be hard
It's difficult to put aside my own agenda and desires and focus solely on Your voice


It tears at the defenses
It challenges the walls I've built to protect myself from hurt


Of words that guard our hearts
Of self-talk that keeps me from considering what might be best for me


Though it may be hard to hear
Even if Your words are not what I want to hear


I'll put aside my words
I'll pause my own talking and listen to You


And wait to hear from You
I'll be patient and anticipate Your perspective


I will wait for You in silence
I'll make room for quietness in my life to focus on Your voice


I will wait to learn from You
I'm willing to be taught and directed by You


Please meet me in this quiet moment
I invite You to speak to me right now in this space


And whisper Your words of truth
I ask that You whisper only truth to my heart in this moment
