Understand

There's a place I know I used to go when I was young Where the road winds down beside a silver stream Where I dreamed a dream, and felt so free In that place I know, I used to go when I was young I drove back to that memory just yesterday Passed the empty lot where we'd go after school and play I heard St. Ann's bell ring, thought about the songs we used to sing When I drove back to that memory, just yesterday I'm trying to find a decent reason why I got so far out of line Looking for a way to make things right Maybe find forgiveness in my Father's eyes And if every heartache was just a lesson To help me understand I would understand Somewhere out there on the back roads As these old memories flood my mind Half was scared, half way excited Cause I don't know what I might find Is this the dream I dreamed? Of how it all might be Somewhere on the backroads As these memories flood my mind I'm trying to find a decent reason why I got so far out of line Looking for a way to make things right Maybe find forgiveness in my father's eyes And if every heartache was just a lesson To help me understand I would understand There's no need for me to regret The things I didn't know There's no need to go on Holding on to such a heavy load I think it's time for letting go I'm trying to find a decent reason why I got so far out of line Looking for a way to make things right Maybe find forgiveness in my father's eyes And if every heartache was just a lesson To help me understand Then I would understand So help me understand So I can understand
