o'connor band & mark o'connor - what have i been saying? lyrics
[verse 1]
listen young boys, and you young girls
i’m an old man not long for the world
i have served kings and convicts as well
i have been witness to heaven and h-ll
if you think you’re improving
the fortunes of children by sitting around
you talk when you all should be moving
so open your ears and go hit the ground
[chorus]
oh what have i been saying
don’t just sit there praying
you’ll only start, you’ll only start
if you shut off your mind and you follow your heart
your heart
[verse 2]
listen young boys, and you young girls
i am a mother who’s lived in this world
longer than you, you don’t have a clue
what it is like to survive
you should know that conventional wisdom
made in the light i’ve seen inside you
a light that will give you the vision
to do everything you dreamed you could do
[chorus]
oh what have i been saying
don’t just sit there praying
you’ll only start, you’ll only start
if you shut off your mind and you follow your heart
what have i been saying
live the words you’re praying
you’ll only start, you’ll only start
if you shut off your mind and you follow your heart
ooooh
