Analysis of Please Hear What I Say



Please Hear What I Say
Author: Mark V. Markov

Higher
It's what I expect from my life
It's a Holy Fire
That burns within me
Lifts me up from the ground

Oh, I hear an unbeliever say
That there is no way
For the world
No, please hear what I say
I wanna do so much the right way

Higher
God sets my limits and bonds
There's a Holy Fire
That's burning so hard
In my soul, in my heart, in my head

Oh, I hear an unbeliever say
That there is no way
For the world
No, please hear what I say
I wanna do so much the right way

We have
A little time to believe in everlasting life
A little time to accept our Savior Jesus Christ
A little time to change our lives
A little time to believe and to dream

Higher
God sets my limits and bonds
There's a Holy Fire
That's burning so hard
In my soul, in my heart, in my head

We have
A little time to believe in everlasting life
A little time to accept our Savior Jesus Christ
A little time to change our lives
A little time to believe and to dream...
