Lyrics
Understanding
Written by Brian Allossery and Ray Coburn
If it's busy when you call
And the rain begins to fall
Please don't go away
You're the only one who knows
The emperor has no clothes
But you will never say
I've been putting up the walls
I've been standing in the halls of yesterday
Understanding's breaking them down
Understanding's breaking them down
And I mean it when I say
I will never go away
I'm staying in your town
And the misery of it all
See me stumble see me fall
When you are not around
When it's down to the last drop of whiskey in the jar
I know where you are
Understanding's breaking them down
Your understanding's breaking them down
Your understanding's breaking down the walls
Smashing them with joy
Smashing them with love
I was putting up the walls
I was standing in the halls of yesterday
Understanding's breaking them down
Your understanding's breaking them down
Your understanding's breaking down the walls
Smashing them with joy
Smashing them with love
You never have it 'til you give it away
You never know it 'til it is undone
You never have it 'til you give it away
You never know it 'til it is undone
