You Deafen Your Ears

BEHIND THE SONG: YOU DEAFEN YOUR EARS:   IT IS GOOD TO HAVE SELF-CONFIDENCE. WITHOUT IT WE CAN FIND OURSELVES UNABLE TO DECIDE FOR OURSELVES AND ALWAYS WANTING SOMEONE TO MAKE A DECISION THAT WE SHOULD BE MAKING. ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COIN OVER-CONFIDENCE IS ILLUSTRATED IN THE SONG “YOU DEAFEN YOUR EARS”. SUCH INORDINATE SELF-ESTEEM  IS SELF-CENTERED AND DRIVEN BY A PROUD ATTITUDE THAT RESPECTS NO ONE, LEARNS FROM NO ONE AND IS CONCERNED ABOUT NO ONE AND KNOWS IT ALL.. THE WISE WORDS ARE SO ABSOLUTELY TRUE, “Pride is before a crash, And a haughty spirit before stumbling”. (PROVERBS 16:18)

LYRICS

YOU DEAFEN YOUR EARS
YOU SAY YOUR HINDSIGHTS 20/20, AND YOUR FORESIGHTS THE SAME
AND YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR GOING, YOU CAN FEEL NO PAIN
AND THOSE WHO VE GONE BEFORE YOU,THEIR WORDS  YOU DISDAIN
SO YOU DEAFEN YOUR EARS
YOU SAY YOU VE GOT YOUR ACT TOGETHER, AND YOU KNOW NO BOUNDS
YES YOU KNOW WHERE YOU RE GOING, YOU CANNOT BE CONFOUND
AND ALL THOSE THAT SURROUND YOU, THEIR PAIN LEAVES NO SOUND
SO YOU DEAFEN YOUR EARS
YOU CANNOT HEAR
WORDS SURROUND YOU                                                                                                                                    LIFE GOES AROUND YOUYOU CANNOT HEAR
BUT YOU CANNOT HEAR
SO YOU DEAFEN YOUR EARS

YOU SAY YOU WALK THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW, YOU CAN CATCH YOUR LIFE
IN FLIGHT
AND THE SHADOWS THAT SURROUND YOU, DO NOT DISTURB THE NIGHT
AND THOSE WHO STAND TO HELP YOU, YOU DON T NEED THEIR LIGHT
SO YOU DEAFEN YOUR EARS
YOU CANNOT HEAR
WORDS SURROUND YOU
LIFE GOES AROUND YOU
BUT YOU CANNOT HEAR

(REPEAT IST LINE, THEN INTERLUDE )
SO YOU DEAFEN (YOUR EARS
