Understanding Heart - Bob Margolin

I was just a child in school many years and miles from here

I looked out the window and I watched the clock barely

Listened with one ear my foot tapped silently under my desk

To the music in my head then the teacher told a bible story

I’ll remember till I’m dead and this legend still serves me

Well where my world is heaven or hell God gave one wish

To Solomon and his answer was so smart Solomon was to

Die for understanding heart

To understanding heart and have mercy and be strong

And understanding heart when I can’t find the right for

The wrong and understanding heart the key to the door

Of life and understanding heart to where these blues

Rise above

It’s the sad soul music or standing by a true friend

It’s the family love that does not break but can bend

It’s the kindness from a stranger helping hand when

We fall I pray that God will give us each and all and

Understanding heart and understanding heart to have

Mercy and be strong and understanding heart but I

Can’t find the right for the wrong and understanding

Heart the key to the door of love and understanding heart

To bear these blues and rise above
