Help Me Understand - Bob Dylan

Take me and lead me and hold to my hand

Heavenly father, help me understand

Take me and lead me and hold to my hand

Heavenly father, help me understand

Friends, I’d like to tell a story of a family I once knew

We’ll call them William and Mary and their little daughter Sue

Now Mary was just the average housewife

And Bill was just a usual dad

And they had their little family arguments

But neither on ever got mad

Then on day something happened

It was nothing of course

But one word lead to another

And the last word lead to divorce

Now here’s two grown up people

Who failed to use common sense

They strengthen their own selfish pride

At little Sue’s expense

You know she didn’t ask to be brought to this world

To drift from pillar to post

But a divorce never stops to consider

The ones that its hurting the most

There’d be a lot more honest lovin'

In this cruel world today

If just a few hundred parents

Could hear little Sue say

Take me and lead me and hold to my hand

Heavenly father, help me understand

Take me and lead me and hold to my hand

Heavenly father, help me understand

Take me and lead me and hold to my hand

Heavenly father, help me understand
