To understand I'm understood with understanding eyes
To understand one thing I like another may despise
To understand a precious gift that lies within a smile
And that those who claim theirs is no peace on earth are living in denial
To understand I will see you soon might mean in years time
To understand a story loved is lost amount the climb
To understand a roaring din contained into a chime
And all the riches in the world are not worth a single dime
To understand that natural buzz is just a distant dream
To understand that drug intake is breaking our machines
To understand a lighting sprint when we hear a scream
To understand strawberries taste best when with some cream
To understand people cry for no reason of their own
To understand that fallen heroes have no welcome home
To understand a child's need to wander off and roam
And that from time to time we all need to moan
To understand in each heartbeat another person dies
To understand that politics is make up wrapped in lies
To understand we are going deaf to stop each others cries
To understand I am understood with understanding eyes
To understand I look at others before I see myself
And when the time that I am in trouble I want no others help
To understand when times are bad the same is said for health
And when the trouble times have past we gain in spirits wealth
To understand that truth and love are more than merely words
And when we learn the true meaning we often can get hurt
But then we rediscover and it feels like we can fly
To understand I am understood with understanding eyes
