Misunderstood -In Many Ways-

Insecurities come and go…while the wicked wind do blow I guess I had to let you know that I’m not the only one all aglow Misunderstood in many ways, many ways Wishing and praying for brighter days I hear your footsteps upon the ground Misunderstood, it’s doing me no good I hear the echoes of your voice while I’m gravity-bound In chains of where I stood long ago in the lonely neighborhood Misunderstood in many, many ways It’s one of those bizarre, crazy days Understand that I’m in this neighborhood To do you good…to do you good…are you okay like you should? Misunderstood in many, many ways It’s one of those bizarre days and it preys Upon my mindset of doubt and faith once more I still love you to the core, love you to the core But you misunderstood me in many, many ways Many, many ways…many, many ways I hear your footsteps upon the ground Misunderstood, it’s doing me no good I hear the echoes of your voice while I’m gravity-bound In chains of where I stood long ago in the lonely neighborhood Misunderstood in many, many ways It’s one of those bizarre, crazy days Understand that I’m in this neighborhood To do you good…to do you good…are you okay like you should? Misunderstood in many, many ways It’s one of those bizarre days and it preys Upon me while I’m upset, praying for healing Upon me while I’m in regret, below here kneeling I’m praying for the pain to leave my side Abide by my side and never subside, subside I hear your footsteps upon the ground Misunderstood, it’s doing me no good I hear the echoes of your voice while I’m gravity-bound In chains of where I stood long ago in the lonely neighborhood Misunderstood in many, many ways It’s one of those bizarre, crazy days Understand that I’m in this neighborhood To do you good…to do you good…are you okay like you should? Misunderstood in many, many ways It’s one of those bizarre days and it preys Upon the sunrays of yesterday’s tomorrow Upon the gay feeling of evaporating sorrow It preys upon my distress and I want to let it all go Wishing and praying for brighter days in greater ways long ago…
