Understanding Truth
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Walking whichever way it seems I want to walk
I will try and do what I can
Sleeping away it's so hard
Fighting the fight of the common man
Watching him grow
As he stands there alone in the sand
Fortune will come inside every dream
Then I just won't understand it
Watching the man in the stream
As he wants to be free
Talking to their God
Talking to their child
Talking to their understanding truth
Sleeping away it's so hard
Hearing the deeds of the common man
Watching him fearful
And not really sure of the way
Fortune will smile upon every child
Knowing that we are just trying
Getting our ticket
We know we are here for the ride
Talking to their God
Talking to their child
Talking to their understanding truth..
