I Will Never Understand
I WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND
I will never understand
Why the most wondrous
Of all God’s creations
Human beings
Must leave the world forever.
Why those capable of such Greatness and Beauty,
Should forever go
Why those we most love
Should not always be with us.
Why we too
Are here only for a time
Before our absence hurts those who care for us.
I will never understand why we must die
Never.

No One Can Explain Why Beauty Dies
No one can explain why Beauty dies
Why those we love so much must leave this world
No one can help us understand
Why what we most care about
Must one day disappear
Nothing will make us ever understand Death-
Why No Dream no Sadness no Pain no Love no Beauty
Will last forever-
We die-
We will never really understand ‘Why? '

Understan me please
Please understand me.
You are one of the closest people to me in a way.
But for some reason you don't understand me.
It's almost as if you don't want to understand.
I'm just a target to shout at.
Just an idiot you don't really want to understand.
But I am your blood.
Why can't you at least try to understand?
It's not as if I enjoy attempting suicide all the time.
I don't care what you say it's not always my fualt.
The diagnosis I was given, you won't even take in to account.
I try to explain but you don't listen.
All you say is you know what you are doing.
Stop it you say, yeah becuase it's really that easy not.
I'm not getting any enjoyment out of this you know?
But I wish you wouldn't shout and curse.
You say you love me.
But how can you when you won't try to understand?
Please, please understand me

Never Will You Ever Understand It
Never will you understand it.
Why things in my heart wont leave.
You will never understand it.
Never will you ever understand it.
Never will you understand it.
Why I express little empathy.
You will never understand it.
Never will you ever understand it.
My mind has grown too agitated and annoyed.
My emotions tied in knots,
Have long dropped as my topic.
I have a peace within,
I'm hoping will never end.
Or come to the point,
I must defend.
Oh...
You will never understand it.
Never will you ever understand it.

Got To Be There
nah nah nah
nah nah nah nah nah
nah nah nah nah nah
nah nah
When you and I first met
We were so inseparable (So inseparable)
And on that last day I left
Thinkin we'd need a miracle (Need a miracle)
Cause every little word that you said to me
Became the biggest pain in my heart
And all my pride making me pretend
You'd be so happy that we're apart
You just don't understand
You just don't understand
You got to be there for me
You hold my heart in your hand
You got to be there for me
You just don't understand
nah nah nah nah nah
nah nah nah nah
So far down this road
I'm not sure we can repair (Sure we can repair)
And each and every time we be on the phone
We both actin like we don't care (Actin like we don't care)
It would be so sad to me
To be the one that got away (One that got away)
And it hurts just as much to see
To see the feelings we have decayed
Decay in front of our eyes
You just don't understand
You got to be there for me (You)
You hold my heart in your hand
You got to be there for me (You just don't understand)
You just don't understand (oh no no)
You just don't understand
You got to be there for me (You got to be there yeah)
You hold my heart in your hand
You got to be there for me
You're all that I have
You don't understand
nah nah nah nah nah
nah nah nah nah (Just can't)
nah nah nah nah nah
nah nah nah nah
Be there
Be there
Be there
Be there
Be there
You got to be there for me (no no no no no no)
Be there
Be there
Be there
Be there
Be there (You)
You got to be there for me (You oh)
You got to be there for me (oh

How Sad That Even The Best Of Us Die
How sad that even the best of us die-
That even those who do and give the most
Leave our world forever-
How sad that those of such Greatness and Goodness
Such Beauty and Wisdom
Must go.
We of such great imperfection and failure
Can perhaps understand why we should not remain
But those who are great and good
They are another question.

They don't understand
They don't understand,
What its like to be me.
They don't understand,
Why school is hard for me.
They don't understand,
Why I'm so skinny.
They don't understand,
Why I have no friends.
They don't understand,

I Love Him So Much
Written by chuck jackson and marvin yancy
Today we broke up, tomorrow well make up
And again hell hang up on me
But you see I know hell never hurt me
I know hell never desert me
And so I just say thats my man anyway
Tonight well love plenty, tomorrow maybe not any
But Im sure hell come through just in time
And to me hes more than just a man
Hes my life so I understand why things has got to be his way
And I love him so much, so much til it hurts me
Yes, I do, so much, so much til it hurts me
He makes me cry when I wanna laugh sometimes
His moods, they keep changing all the time
But I know just where his head is when its not laying on top of mine
His world is not so different and you may not believe
But Im sure youd understand him if you were me
And thats why this world cant look and frown
But Ill never let him down
That is my man and he means the world to me
And I love him so much, so much til it hurts me
Yes, I love him so much, so much til it hurts me
Oh (so much, so much til it hurts me)
I love him so (so much, so much til it hurts me) much
So much, so much--

Hearts Of The World
Give me a minute, give me some time, give me a second to make up my mind
Just wait a moment, i want a chance to think it over
You say you can't wait forever, but something holds me back
Between the two of us, we can't decide, just where the answer lies
Chorus:
You know hearts of the world will understand, you know they will
Hearts of the world will understand
I feel a pressure i can't resist, intoxicated from the first kiss
Over the limit, your invitations leave me breathless
Although i can't wait much longer, something holds me back
Between the two of us the tensions rise, this feeling won't subside
You know hearts of the world will understand, you know they will
Hearts of the world will understand
My mind is torn between right and wrong, the two extremes and i hate it
I won't give in to you, just 'cos you want me too, ooh, life's so complicated
Ah but given time i might change my mind, we just have to face it
Between the two of us, we can't decide, just where the answer lies
(guitar solo)
Although i can't wait much longer, something holds me back
Between the two of us the tensions rise, this feeling won't subside
You know hearts of the world will understand, you know they will
Hearts of the world will understand - you know they will
Hearts of the world will understand, hearts of the world will understand
Hearts of the world will understand, hearts of the world will understand
(repeats out)

They'll Never Understand
They'll never understand why their laughter makes me cry.
They'll never understand that what they call truth I know it to be a lie.
They'll never understand as much as they hate me I love them just as much.
They'll understand why on them I'll never give up.
They'll never understand why I don't blame them for their views.
They'll never understand why I do what I do.
I do it because that is who I am.
But they'll never understand.
Forever Man
(by jerry lynn williams)
How many times must I tell you babe,
How many bridges Ive got to cross?
How many times must I explain myself
Before I can talk to the boss,
fore I can talk to the boss?
How many times must I say I love you
Before you finally understand?
Wont you be my forever woman?
Ill try to be your forever man,
Try to be your forever man.
Second verse
Forever man, forever man, forever man.
Forever man, forever man, forever man.
Try to be your forever man.
Forever man, forever man, forever man.
Forever man, forever man, forever man.
Try to be your forever man.

My Hate
Not mine, she is
She used to be my sugar
He has stolen her forever from me
Nobody she is, nobody
Not even a stranger
I regret that I loved her so much
Since, she never really deserved my love
I was just a doll, which she used
It was not love, not care
Although, I completely cannot blame her
Since, I myself actually wanted to be used
This game which she played with me, actually did hurt
At the end it proved, that she is a player
Who loves, only to pass time
It hurts me, really hurts me
How can a girl like her, ever understand my pain?
Yes, she never was worth, the trouble I took to love her
Truly, I thought that forever I possibly could spend rest of my life with her
She turned me into a joke
I hate her for this, she wanted my hate
Now, she has actually gotten it.

Sunday Thoughts.....
understand that when people are grouchy and
so unkind, it must be, because the world had been
too cruel on them too, and at the back of their minds,
God seems to be nowhere, seems to be not working
for them
how selfish it can be
but
understand that most minds are shallow and most beings
thrive as though they are the sun and the center of this
universe,
which is not so, understand that this matter is hard to understand
and we ourselves sometimes are caught in the same trap
disregarding God
as though he is tool
a gadget
as though we are Gods
that have control
about everything
understand this
that without that root and the tree
where can leaves
and flowers be?

All I care is that my family, and my loved ones, understand me. Or that they understand me to a degree - I don't understand me very much. And I don't need the world to understand me. That is the most egocentric thing.

River
Lately we've been talking 'bout who we are
Seems we don't know anymore
And all this time that we've been thinking
At night I've been dreaming about you
And I know you don't believe me when I say
I'll love you till the end forever and a day
And I guess we'll never know (we'll never know)
Exactly where this river is gonna flow
And I guess we'll never understand (understand)
Till we reach that promised land
So I guess we'll never know
People say that we're sweethearts
They say nothing in the world could tear us apart
Well I don't know about you
But this thing we're going through is tearing me in two
And I know you don't believe me when I say
I'll love you till the end forever and a day
And I guess we'll never know (we'll never know)
Exactly where this river is gonna flow
And I guess we'll never understand (understand)
Till we reach that promised land
So I guess we'll never know

We Understand Each Other
We understand each other
Bull!
You hear some distant drummer play
I think we understand each other
Have you no else to offer?
Poor boy!
I have expenses to defray
I hope we understand each other
We have a problem
Yes, but its not that we
Dont understand each other
Oh brother!
When they say understand
They gotta mean fairyland
For twenty tons of silver
She sold him into stir
And when it gets his freedom back
He throws it away over her
When he says understand
He must mean some other girl
Ill never comprehend
My putrid taste in men
Its not fair I love
Each little hair and he
Dont even care about me
When she says understand
Must mean some other man
Our preconceptions to retain
Were obliged to exclaim
We understand each other
We hear some distant drummer play
Must mean we understand each other
Oh brother!
If theres a problem
Well admit it
Not that we dont understand each other
Each other
When they say understand
Its like wendy and peter pan
Have you ever met somebody
More self-involved than he?
This has got to be a miracle
The man has divine empathy
What could be wrong with me?
I know his repartee
Insincere
Hes down
There, Im up here
But whenever hes near
Its some kind of divine empathy
When they say understand
Smells like something else to me
Were talking sleight of hand
Each others mind
We read so well
We have no time to know ourselves
We understand each other
Though we dont even know ourselves
We think we understand each other
Though we dont even know ourselves
We think we understand each other
Though we dont know ourselves
I hope we understand each other
Each other

I Understand
I understand your problem
I understand the reason for your tears
I understand what you went through
don't cry because i'm here
I'm here to catch you when you are falling
I'm here to wipe your tears
Be strong
don't let you mistakes lead you
stand and fight for yourself
don't let go
hold on still
i understand how it hurt
i understand how it feels like
get back on your feet
when stumble and fall
i understand
i understand
oh i understand your pain
i understand you went through a lot in life
but remember
be strong, and never give up
I understand

The things I touch and feel

I've never felt this way before

just how right I am
I just can’t understand
how it is that
the world can’t understand
how right I am
and how wrong it is
OK, we’ll excuse the world, for the moment,
since it is far removed from my person
and my mind
so it can’t really be expected to understand my
unfailing rightness:
just how right I am and how just I am;
but the family, my family –
no, not the family of man
but the damned family of mine, my blood and bones and skin –
I can’t understand for the world of me
why my own family
that eats at the table with me
can’t understand
how right I am
and wrong they are…
just how right I am
and how just I am…
Look, I can understand about the world
but I just can’t understand
how the family….
I mean, this is where the family is important
for if the family can give me
just a little support –
just a teeny-weeny bit – I mean how much
does it take
for the family to see
how right I am
and how wrong the family is.
Is that really asking for too much?
You see, I’m sure you can see,
if only the family could agree
the world itself would see
how right I am…
But what is to be done?
prophets are never accepted
in their own home
and so in their own family too…
and so perhaps the truth lies in this cliché…
still, if one looks at it clearly,
I just can’t understand
how it is that
the world, which includes that silly family of mine,
can’t understand
how right I am
and how wrong it is
