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 A 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 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 --- A Plea for Understanding - Pallbearer
