Can you hear the pain? 
The Pain of a lonely heart seeking compassion.
 
Can you hear the pain? 
The pain of a single voice crying into the night.
 
Can you hear the pain? 
The pain of solitude. 

The solitude of a lone soul wishing for happiness. 
The solitude of the heart 
without any compassion held toward it.
 
Can you hear the pain? 
The agonized being tortured by its exile. 
The separation from all the world and passion of life. 

The solitude that is imposed upon the heart 
that loves too deep and is punished by uncaring. 
Listen, Listen for the Pain. 

Seek to remove it form those so unfortunate. 
Listen, Listen deeply for that which has lived in death. 
The death of solitude within the millions.
 
The pain comes so harsh to those who hear, 
and feel with depth and compassion. 

Yet, you must listen closely. 
For only those who listen with there heart 
can begin to hear the pain.
