LISTEN (DREAMGIRLS, 2006)

Though the film Dreamgirls is about a trio of women singers, the film clearly belongs to the Oscar-winning role of Jennifer Hudson. While Beyonce Knowles, the one-third of the singing group takes a tad backseat, she however shines in the scene when she sang Listen. The song that earned the reputation as part of the reportoire in any musical contest. Listen, is all Beyonce.

Listen

To the song here in my heart

A melody I start

But can't complete

Listen, to the sound from deep within

It's only beginning

To find release

Oh, the time has come for my dreams to be heard

They will not be pushed aside and turned

Into your own all 'cause you won't

Listen

Listen

I am alone at a crossroads

I'm not at home, in my own home

And I've tried and tried

To say whats on my mind

You should have known

Oh

Now I'm done believin you

You don't know what I'm feelin

I'm more than what, you made of me

I followed the voice you gave to me

But now I gotta find, my own

You should have listened

There is someone here inside

Someone I'd thought had died

So long ago

Ohh I'm free now and my dreams'll be heard

They will not be pushed aside or worse

Into your own

All 'cause you won't

Listen

Listen

I am alone at a crossroads

I'm not at home, in my own home

And I've tried and tried

To say whats on my mind

You should have known

Oh

Now I'm done believin you

You don't know what I'm feelin

I'm more than what, you made of me

I followed the voiceyou gave to me

But now I gotta find, my own

I don't know where I belong

But I'll be movin on

If you don't

If you won'tListen

To the song here in my heart

A melody I start

But I will complete

Oh

Now I'm done believin' you

You dont know what I'm feelin'

I'm more than what, you made of me

I followed the voice, you think you gave to me

But now I gotta find, my own
