IF YOU COULD SEE WHAT I HEAR
911 WHERE’S YOUR EMERGENCY
MY WIFE IS HAVING A BABY AND I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO
OK STAY CALM I AM GOING TO TELL YOU WHAT TO DO
IF YOU COULD SEE WHAT I HEAR
I HAVE HEARD THE FIRST BREATH TAKEN BY THE NEWBORN BABY
I HAVE HEARD THE LAST DYING BREATH TAKEN BY SOMEONE
I HAVE HEARD THE PLEADING CRY OF SOMEONE IN NEED
I HAVE HEARD THE AFTERMATH OF NATURES FURY
IF YOU COULD SEE WHAT I HEAR
CHORUS
I HAVE HEARD JOY , PAIN SORROW AND DESPAIR
I HAVE HEARD LOVE , HATE AND ANGER ALL IN ONE CALL
AT THE END OF EACH DAY I GO HOME WITH THE SOUNDS OF THE DAY STILL FRESH IN MY MIND
AND THE NEXT DAY PUT ON THE HEADSET AND DO IT AGAIN
911 WHERES YOUR EMERGENCY
MY SON HAS BEEN SHOT
I HAVE HEARD THE DESPAIR OF A MOTHER WHOSE SON IS DYING BY HER SIDE
I HAVE HEARD THE GRIEF OF A SON WHO HAS FOUND HIS PARENT HAS DIED
I HAVE HEARD THE RELIEF WHEN SOMEONE BEGINS BREATHING AGAIN
I HAVE HEARD THE CRIES OF CHILDREN LEFT ALONE AND SOMEONE IN THEIR HOUSE
IF YOU COULD SEE WHAT I HEAR
I HAVE HEARD THE CALL OF OFFICER NEEDS HELP
I HAVE HEARD THE CRYING OF THE ASSAULTED WIFE
I HAVE HEARD THE DESPAIR OF AN ENDING RELATIONSHIP
IF YOU COULD SEE WHAT I HEAR
CHORUS
I HAVE HEARD JOY , PAIN SORROW AND DESPAIR
I HAVE HEARD LOVE , HATE AND ANGER ALL IN ONE CALL
AT THE END OF EACH DAY I GO HOME WITH THE SOUNDS OF THE DAY STILL FRESH IN MY MIND
AND THE NEXT DAY PUT ON THE HEADSET AND DO IT AGAIN
