| I was just a child in school many years and miles from here
|
| I looked out the window and I watched the clock barely
|
| Listened with one ear my foot tapped silently under my desk
|
| To the music in my head then the teacher told a bible story
|
| I’ll remember till I’m dead and this legend still serves me
|
| Well where my world is heaven or hell God gave one wish
|
| To Solomon and his answer was so smart Solomon was to
|
| Die for understanding heart
|
| To understanding heart and have mercy and be strong
|
| And understanding heart when I can’t find the right for
|
| The wrong and understanding heart the key to the door
|
| Of life and understanding heart to where these blues
|
| Rise above
|
| It’s the sad soul music or standing by a true friend
|
| It’s the family love that does not break but can bend
|
| It’s the kindness from a stranger helping hand when
|
| We fall I pray that God will give us each and all and
|
| Understanding heart and understanding heart to have
|
| Mercy and be strong and understanding heart but I
|
| Can’t find the right for the wrong and understanding
|
| Heart the key to the door of love and understanding heart
|
| To bear these blues and rise above |
