Lyrics:
It seems like only yesterday
I didn’t have a clue
I stood alone not knowing where to turn
Now suddenly I look around
And everything looks new
I don’t know why but I think I’m starting to learn
They call it understanding
Understanding
A willingness to grow
I’m finally understanding
Understanding
There’s so much I could know
Until the day you came along
I used to just get lost
I only heard the things I wanted to hear
It always seemed like no cared
Then you took the time
And now I look and everything seems clear
You’ve got me understanding
Understanding
You’ve really helped me see
I’m finally understanding
Understanding
It’s meant so much to me
You’ve got me understanding
Understanding
You’ve given me some pride
I’m finally understanding
You’re really on my side
Really on my side
Got me understanding
Understanding
Understanding
You’ve got me understanding
Understanding
Understanding
You’ve got me understanding
For the first time
You’ve got me understanding
You’ve got me understanding
