[Verse 1]
I was just a child in school many years and miles from here
I looked out the window and I watched the clock barely
Listened with one ear my foot tapped silently under my desk
To the music in my head then the teacher told a bible story
I'll remember till I'm dead and this legend still serves me
Well where my world is heaven or hell God gave one wish
To Solomon and his answer was so smart Solomon was to
Die for understanding heart
[Verse 2]
To understanding heart and have mercy and be strong
And understanding heart when I can't find the right for
The wrong and understanding heart the key to the door
Of life and understanding heart to where these blues
Rise above
[Verse 3]
It's the sad soul music or standing by a true friend
It's the family love that does not break but can bend
It's the kindness from a stranger helping hand when
We fall I pray that God will give us each and all and
Understanding heart and understanding heart to have
Mercy and be strong and understanding heart but I
Can't find the right for the wrong and understanding
Heart the key to the door of love and understanding heart
To bear these blues and rise above
