It's just noise.
The sound of a car driving by.
The sound of chirping birds in the air.
The sound of the wind through the trees.
The sound of the river flowing in the backyard.

It's just noise if you hear it,
The things that are around you,
Unless you listen.

Listen to the car.
What does it sound like?
Where is it going?

Listen to the birds.
Where are they?
What are they doing?

Listen to the wind.
What sounds does it carry?
Is a storm coming?

Listen to the river.
How fast does it flow?
How low is it running?

Everything is just noise,
Unless you listen.
