(Intro) The T.V. is talking, the telephone's ringing The lights are all on and the radio's screaming A million distractions are stealing my heart from You I'm tired and empty, this life is relentless It weakens my knees and it breaks my defenses It's wearing me down and I'm desperate to hear from You (Single Strum Chords) Stop the world, I wanna get out I need an escape away from this crowd Just to hear You speak to me (Back to normal pattern) I need to be still before I make a move And I need to be humble with nothing to prove And I need Your Word to show me the truth I need time, precious time Stop the world, I wanna get out I need an escape away from this crowd Just to hear You speak to me Stop the world, I'm ready to listen Show me a sign, just give me a vision of Heaven That I can hold on to Stop the world, I need some time with You (Instrumental Bridge) Before I can find my voice I need to hear Your voice Above all the senseless noise Stop the world, I wanna get out I need an escape away from this crowd Just to hear You, I need to hear Your Voice Stop the world, I'm ready to listen Show me a sign, give me a vision of Heaven That I can hold on to Stop the world, I need some time with You (Outro) Pretty simple song, just work on getting the dynamics and tempo changes down by listening to the recording!
