Understanding
Understanding
(Mirrored Refrain)
With thoughts and kindred feeling
It’s the knowledge that we find
No matter what or who you are
A heart with an understanding mind
Whenever we need some sympathy
With faith we don’t have to look far
A heart with an understanding mind
No matter what or who you are
Everybody needs His blessings
With a soul always free and kind
No matter what or who you are
A heart with an understanding mind
And to live in love through eternity
It is written in the evening star
A heart with an understanding mind
No matter who or what you are
