I don't know if you can hear me,
Or if you even care.
I don't know if you will listen
To a gypsy's prayer.
I know that I am just an outcast,
I shouldn't speak to you.
Still I see your face and wonder,
Were you once an outcast too?

Teach me to stop and listen.
Teach me to center down.
Teach me the use of silence.
Teach me where peace is found.

Teach me to be connected.
Teach me to be in tune.
Teach me to be directed,
Silence will end so soon.

Teach me to stop and listen.
Teach me to hear your word.
Help me to hear in silence.
Things I have never heard.

Then when it's time for moving,
Grant it that I may bring
To every day and moment
Peace from a silent spring.
