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      Stop the world, I wanna get out   I need an escape away from this crowd   Just to hear You speak to me      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      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 You, Lord      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   Stop the world, I need some time with You
