Hear Every Sound lyrics

After everyone has taken a bow

and it didn't feel as good

as you thought that it would,

after every tear has been cried

and every lie has been lied,

then I turn to the world outside...

...and I hear every sound.

Walk away 

from another crowd.

Loneliest of people laughin'

just a little too loud

and the saddest of eyes

tryin' so hard to see.

Then I turn to the world outside

that's spinnin' so patiently around

and I hear every sound.

I wanted to know the answer,

but I never thought to ask.

Then one day, I started laughin'

and it all came echoin' back.

The secret of a smile 

is known by just a few:

if you give everything you got, 

then it all, it all,

it all comes back to you.
