Just Understand Understanding....

If you woke up in the middle of the night
And in your bare feet you walked outside
And realizing that you were awake and that you could fly
Out over the world.


To places that you've only heard of
See faces that you were sold as murderers


But just like you they're only lonely boys and girls
Like all over the world.

What if you could lift them up?
What if you could make it so that times weren't tough?
So every morning when the world woke up, there'd only be weather on the news.


And what if you were back in bed?
With one of them floating over your head?
What do you say to your enemies
When you don't know what it is that could've been between you?

There ain't no blue skies over bad lands
Even if it ain't raining in the morning.
But you don't need to fly to understand it
Just understand understanding.
