Lyrics Act 2, Scene 8: Dewey's Bedroom - The Original Broadway Cast of School of Rock

Where did the rock go?
What is music when there's no one to hear?
Guess it's simply echos in the silence.
Just to fade away
I was lost lost and in pain
So much hurt botteled inside
All the things i should've said
I just kept trying to hide
And i thought nobody could but you you understood
I needed to share
And only you would listen
Hope someone would care
And only you would listen
You raised my voice up
Taught me not to fear
I've learned who i am because you're here
Look around see what you've done
Can't you tell how you've come through
And now you you need someone
So let us be there for you
Don't you know we'll understand
Because you're you're in the band
We want you to stay
If only you would listen
We want you to play
If only you would listen
Now that we've found you
You cant just disappear
School won't be the same with out you hear
I needed respect
I needed a chance
And only you would listen
I couldn't connect
Just wanted to dance
And only you could listen
You gave us voices
Helped us make them clear
You gave us voice
Helped us make them clear
You've taught us so much since you've been here
