Listen to the song here in my heart
a melody I start but can't complete

Listen to the sound from deep within
Its only beginning to find release

Ohh 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

[Chorus]
Listen
I am alone at a crossroads
I'm not at home in my own home
And I've tried and tried
To say what’s on my mind
You should have known
Now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what
You've made of me
I followed the voice, you gave to me
But now I've gotta find my own
You should have listened

There was someone here inside
Someone I thought had died
So long ago
Oh I'm screaming out
And my dreams will be heard
They will not be pushed aside or turned
Into your own
All 'cause you won't listen

[Chorus]
Listen
I am alone at a crossroads
I'm not at home in my own home
And I've tried and tried
To say what’s on my mind
You should have known
Now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what
You've made of me
I followed the voice, you gave to me
But now I've gotta find my own
You should have listened

I don't know where I belong
But I'll be moving on
If you don't, if you won't

Listen to the song here in my heart
A melody I start, but I will complete

Now I am done believing you
You don't know not what I am feeling
I'm more than what you've made of me
I followed the voice you think you gave to me

But now I got to find my own
my own

    My Interpretation:i have loved this song till last night when i listened to the lyrics carefully..its satanic

    Listen to the song here in my heart
    a melody I start but can't complete(satan never completed his mission in heaven..he had the loveliest voice and the chaplain,but God knowing his deceited plans didnt let him complete his missions)

    Listen to the sound from deep within
    Its only beginning to find release(stan started a rebellion in heaven..and wanted his own soldiers..the fallen angels)

    Ohh 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(the time had come for him to fulfill his own conceited plans and did not want God to direct him..he wanted to do his own evil deeds and wasn't willing to relent)

    [Chorus]
    Listen
    I am alone at a crossroads
    I'm not at home in my own home(heaven no longer belonged to him..he was cast out)
    And I've tried and tried
    To say what’s on my mind(he tried to convince and overthrow God,instead he couldn't..so he rebelled)
    You should have known
    Now I'm done believing you(he has no part in Gods holy trinity)
    You don't know what I'm feeling(he wants to revenge on earth by torturing Gods people)
    I'm more than what
    You've made of me(he feels he is more powerful than God which is a lie,he feels God underestimated him)
    I followed the voice, you gave to me(god had given him the most powerful and wonderful voice in heaven...then he misused it)
    But now I've gotta find my own(he wants to recruit his followers like beyonce to hell.he has given her the voice that he once had!have u ever wondered why most Illuminati guys are mostly musicians?Satan was the chorister in heaven.it was his gift to sing!!hence he gives it to those that help him recruit..music speaks to the soul..and satan knows this..the bible says my people perish because of lack of knowledge..ignorance to what you listen to is your downfall)
    You should have listened((he threatens God.how foolish!)

    There was someone here inside
    Someone I thought had died(he was thrown out and now his evil ressurected on earth)
    So long ago
    Oh I'm screaming out
    And my dreams will be heard(his evil is evident in the world)
    They will not be pushed aside or turned
    Into your own(he wants nothing to do with Gods word)
    All 'cause you won't listen

    [Chorus]
    Listen
    I am alone at a crossroads
    I'm not at home in my own home
    And I've tried and tried
    To say what’s on my mind
    You should have known
    Now I'm done believing you
    You don't know what I'm feeling
    I'm more than what
    You've made of me
    I followed the voice, you gave to me
    But now I've gotta find my own
    You should have listened

    I don't know where I belong (satan does not belong anywhere,,,he was thrown out of heaven)
    But I'll be moving on(he hovers around the earth inflicting suffering and evil trying to regain his place)
    If you don't, if you won't

    Listen to the song here in my heart
    A melody I start, but I will complete(he thinks he will inflict evil on all)

    Now I am done believing you
    You don't know not what I am feeling
    I'm more than what you've made of me
    I followed the voice you think you gave to me(and this voice he gives to beyonce and the like)

    But now I got to find my own
    my own

    General Comment:i believe the actual song despite the stage version is actually beyonce professing at the crossroads [ which has been a symbol of where you meet the devil to sell your soul according to old blues folklore] that she no longer believes in god bc her faith in him doesnt get her to where she wants to be career wise and now shes going to find her own voice with the devil

    General Comment:Its basically a song about a woman who is being repressed, she wants to fullfill her dreams but she cant because her lover wont let her, and its about her telling him how she wants him to listen to what she wants from life..... i think :S

    General Comment:I wasn't sure what to make of this at first, I had been really familiar with the stage version of Dreamgirls, and when I heard that this new song had been added for the film I got a little nervous. But, seeing it in context of the film's narrative, it is shockingly poignant and powerful.

    General Comment:This song is so beautiful and i love the melody and the lyrics....it shows sometimes in life when you are down and confused, your judgement can be dampered on certain things but its important to listen to yourself because only you know whats right, and if you just let go its not worth it

    General Comment:I LOVE this song. It's my anthem.

    It's very self explanatory - it's finding your own voice after someone's been making it up for you for so long. My fave line is:
    "Listen to the song here in my heart. A melody I start, but I will complete"

    What really makes this song though is hearing the passion in Beyonce's voice. I'm really impressed with her on this one :)

It's powerful in every way, the lyrics, the music, beyonce`s amazing voice. I get goosebumps when I listen to this song. I LOVE it!!

    General Comment:I love this song. The message is so strong and Beyonce's voice is soo powerful. I couldn't imagine no one else singing this song. I think that this song can relate to anyone, in any situation where the person feels like what they want doesn't matter, and they feel like they're all alone.

    -linds "you should've listened.."
