I Do Not Understand
why the world chooses hate
why people dictate who you are before you know your own fate
I do not understand why people could be so cold
why my father always taught me to be daring and bold
I do not understand why the world preaches \"life\"
But then breaks you down out of anger and spite
I do not understand how you could crush a man\'s soul
Then dance on top his grave and deface his tombstone
I do not understand why we experience pain
why some people lose everything and have nothing to gain
How you could keep your head in the clouds and yet not feel the rain
How you could keep you head in the clouds and yet not feel the rain
I do not understand the Lord\'s patience
Why he could be so gracious
To grab me when I\'m fading
It\'s amazing
I do not even understand myself
Life is a card game where the suits are dealt
Last round, time\'s up, another loss I felt
An everlasting defeat as my heart melts
But I DO understand that there are good people out there
The ones that give you clothes when you have none to wear
The ones that reassure you when you\'re crippled with fear
The ones that show you love when your heart is quite bare
This is for them....
