Give me an ear that can only hear.
-For deaf children
Cambridge
Mother gave me an ear that I could only hear.
I want to hear birds sing.
Listen to the sound of running water in the river.
Listen to my mother calling me.
Mother gave me an ear that I could only hear.
I want to hear the teacher tell us fairy tales.
The girl who sells matches in winter
The warmth in her hands
I want to listen with my ears.
Listen to our hearts.
Mother gave me an ear that I could only hear.
I want to be like a child.
Learn to sing a song. Just one song.
Sing to the sun, sing to the moon
Mother gave me an ear that I could only hear.
I want to hear the plane fly over the blue sky.
Listen to the rumble of trains and the ticking of cars.
You can call out their names with your eyes closed.
Give me an ear that can only hear.
I will be happier than happiness.
Happier than happiness
