Learn To Understand

Out there beyond the horizon

There lies another tomorrow

Again I’ll hide my wounded pride

And disguise all my sorrow

Reach deep down

Into my bag of tricks

I’ll pull out a smile

We’ll see how long it sticks

Who would understand

All I’m feeling inside

And who would even care

For me to trust and confide

I’ll live in solitude

Safe within myself

I’ll depend on no one

Up here on my shelf

But what’s this I see

Extended to me an open hand

Maybe I too must

Learn to understand
