Have you ever heard the gentle whispers
Of the wind inside his soul?
Have you ever heard the broken beats
Of a heart before it's whole?
Have you ever heard the screams
That haunts his dreams at night?
Have you ever heard the beat
Of a thousand butterflies in flight?
And have you ever heard the tears
Before they break upon the ground?
Or have you heard the silence
Encased in every sound?
Did you ever hear his story?
Of how he came to be?
Maybe you should have listened
Before you set him free...
M.I.A
