Reach across the great divide 
See the war behind your eyes 
Finally slow the racing clock 
Try so hard to make it stop 

Are you listening 
Are you listening 
Are you listening 
Don't look away 
Hear me say 
I need you now 
I need you now 
I need you now 

No more throwing stones tonight 
This glass house can take the fight 
Help me calm this hurricane 
Before this moment slips away 

Are you listening 
Are you listening 
Are you listening 
Don't look away 
Hear me say 
I need you now 
I need you now 
I need you now 

Are you listening 
Are you listening 
Are you listening 
Hear me say 
I need you now 

Don't look away 
Hear me say
