Hear Me Now
The Green Children Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A scarf uncovers a smiling face
That tells the story of a changing place
She knows no greater wonder than what she′s seen
She bears a heart of secrets from where she's been, she says

Hear me now
Hear me now
Hear me out, she cries
See me now
See me now
See in me and I′ll rise

She's worked hard and achieved
A new life's been received
So much pride in her eyes
She′s thrown out her disguise
She′s got a chance to make it on her own
Just one man gave hope to his home, he says

Hear me now
Hear me now
Hear me out, he cries
See her now
See her now
See in her and she'll rise

She speaks unfamiliar words
But so easily understood
It′s like a tone in her voice
Reveals the power of choice
She's so wonderful
The way she holds herself
She finally broke the spell
You can tell

Hear me now
Hear me now
Hear me out, she cries
See me now
See me now
See in me and I′ll rise

Hear me now
Hear me now
Hear me out, he cries
See her now
See her now
See in her and she'll rise





A scarf uncovers a smiling face
That tells the story of a changing place

The Green Children's song Hear Me Now is a passionate and uplifting call to be heard and seen. The opening lines describe a woman wearing a scarf that covers her face, but when it is lifted, she reveals a smile that symbolizes the changes she has undergone. She speaks of the wonder she has seen and the secrets that she carries within her, and her cry to be heard is echoed in the chorus, where she pleads, "Hear me now, Hear me out."


As the song progresses, the focus shifts to a man who has given hope to his home. He speaks of a woman who has worked hard and achieved a new life, and the pride that shines in her eyes. Together, they represent the power of perseverance and the ability to rise above life's challenges. The woman's unfamiliar words are easily understood, revealing the universal language of hope and determination.

That part where that old lady was breaking rocks and smiled. omg, that really got to me. I immediately broke down into tears. Love this song. I got it from my teacher because we were learing about Bangladesh today. Already in love with this song. <3 <3

breaking rocks to make gravel is a job in the developing world. Sidney Poitier said his mother used to make 400 pounds a week growing up in the Bahamas

This song calms me down after a hard day at work. I am actually at peace and stress free with my family. There is magic in music this two bring to us. I hope they don't change as the world tries to bring the worst out in a person and take away the innocense we all had when we were young. If you ever read this, remember to use your talent to bring peace and take us to a special place with your songs.

TGC this song will alway’s be close to my heart. It will always bring me back to my mom Helen devotions to humanitarian aid all over the world and sending for me. I believe they were the best moments of my life with her. Gioia aka Zen

I watched this in my social studies class and it is really inspirational because this was the theme song of a video showing how this man created a way for women in that country to invest on loans to make there own business and earn money to have a roof over there head. This song is super amazing too!
