We Have Only Just Begun To Understand

I don’t understand Why you had me coming undone Please take my helping hand Why is our battles left unwon? We have only just begun To understand where we stood To understand we did some good But…still don’t understand I don’t understand I don’t understand where our airplanes of thought land I don’t understand why our hearts ache oh so immensely I want to comprehend the true meaning of life at hand I want to mend your broken heart like the ocean so free, Crashing against beach sand I wish you would clearly understand… Where I stand… Where I stand Please understand… (Understand, understand, understand) I don’t understand you You don’t understand me You’re the moon and I the sun I’m the sand of yellow and blue You are the sparkling sea You don’t understand me We have only just begun To understand where we stood To understand we did some good But…still don’t understand I don’t understand I don’t understand where our airplanes of thought land I don’t understand why our hearts ache oh so immensely I want to comprehend the true meaning of life at hand I want to mend your broken heart like the ocean so free, Crashing against beach sand I wish you would clearly understand… Where I stand… Where I stand Please understand… (Understand, understand, understand) We have only just begun to understand…understand…understand… Where we land, where we land, We land in God’s promiseland We land in His helping hand… To understand where we stood To understand we did some good But…still don’t understand I don’t understand I don’t understand Where our airplanes of thought land We have only just begun To understand each other… We have only just begun To understand for the better… Where our airplanes of heart land Give me your hand… —Dedicated to the lyrics to Birdy’s song entitled “Raincatchers” and The Carpenter’s song entitled “We’ve Only Just Begun”…
