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

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, try, try

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?
