Do you listen to the words?

I've often wondered how many people 'actually' hear the words of the songs they really like to listen to. I mean really pay attention to the words. I know for a fact that many don't. Anyway, I heard this song on the radio a couple of days ago called "If Everyone Cared" by Nickelback and granted I'm not a huge fan of this particular band when I got home I downloaded the song and then listened carefully to the lyrics just to be sure I had really gotten the words correctly. I love it. Beautiful lyrics - and I don't mean in a sappy, corny type way. If only we could all learn to view everything as a worthwhile experience and find time in each day to see beauty and love in the world around us, maybe, just maybe we'd all be able to feel life a little more intensely and therefore learn to care and sing along with everyone else.
I once read somewhere: "some moments in life are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some to be chewed and digested". Isn't that the truth!

If Everyone Cared Lyrics

From underneath the trees, we watch the sky
Confusing stars for satellites
I never dreamed that you'd be mine
But here we are, we're here tonight

Singing Amen, I, I'm alive
Singing Amen, I, I'm alive

If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died

And I'm singing
Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive
Amen I, Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive

And in the air the fireflies
Our only light in paradise
We'll show the world they were wrong
And teach them all to sing along

Singing Amen, I, I'm alive
Singing Amen, I, I'm alive(I'm alive)

And as we lie beneath the stars
We realize how small we are
If they could love like you and me
Imagine what the world could be

If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died

When nobody died...
We'd see the day, we'd see the day
When nobody died
We'd see the day, we'd see the day
When nobody died
We'd see the day when nobody died
