A Plea for Understanding

In a little time so much has changed

Here I am again in that familiar place

Dreams may try to grow in the dark

But no fire can burn without the setting of a spark

I just want to give to you

All that you have given me

My searching heart cries for this

This thing I can’t grasp

A love somewhere within

Given to roam in a vast and empty space

A tiny glimpse of truth wrung from a simple twist of fate

Help me to find a new way to tread

So I might not be alone on the path that lies ahead

I just want to give to you

All that you have given me

My searching heart cries for this

This thing I can’t grasp

A love somewhere within

Try to forget the past

But nothing ever changes

Try to understand

But nothing ever changes

Try to lose myself

But nothing ever changes

Try to love myself

But nothing ever changes

Behind the eyes lies a truth so deeply concealed

Somewhere inside is a place where the weary rest and heal

Anger, fear, and regret keep the darkness at hand

But these feelings are real

All I ask, won’t you please understand?
