I couldn't hear nobody praying
I listened wisely and talked enlightening talk
But I feared
And then I come to know my power
Count my blessings
And all became clear

But I couldn't hear nobody praying
Couldn't hear what no one was saying
Had to learn my place
Among these saints
My grace

I had to get to know myself
Before I could ask it of anyone else
And in listening to and in following my heart
I found it was a perfect start

And now I hear
Somebody praying
Now I hear what they were saying
Now I know my place
Among these saints
My grace
