Vernon Oxford - No One Is Listening

      C                          F          C
No one is listening to the cry of the young

                             D7                   G7
They’re begging and pleading as the world has its fun

C                   F           C
Eyes do not see and ears do not hear 

        G7     C    C7
Doesn’t anyone care


F                         C
No one is listing they’re calling in vain

                                               G7
He will stop for a moment face his mirror with pain

C                          F                 C
He needs our affection the love from you and me

              G7              C
But no one is listening I can see


                       F                C
No one is listening as they sound their alarm

                            D7                    G7
They’re calling and calling but the world sees no harm

C                              F              C
But when they’ve got a problem there’s no one around

               G7               C    C7
They feel like they’re going to drown


F                     C
No one is listing yet the warning is clear

                                                G7
And will stop for a moment when you hear such despair

C                       F                     C
They want our attention and the right to just live

           G7            C
But no one is willing to give


              G7        F C
Will somebody listen to me
