You know, I need some understanding
And I held my tongue I didn't plug my ears, no, I got a good talking to
Could you please start explaining?
No, I don't look back
Which one of us would be the foolish one?
But now I have read some books and have grown quite brave
I knew a lovely girl, with such pretty pride
Now I don't know when but a day is gonna come
They will know how I love
Because the road is clear and laid out ahead of me
Now men with purple hearts, carry silver guns
Did He die for us? Did He die at all?
And if I dried His feet, with my dirty hair
And they will kill a man for what his father has done
You know, I need some understanding
But what my father did, you know it don't mean shit I'm not him
Would He make me clean again?
When there won't be a moon and there won't be a sun
It will just go black, it will just go back, to the way it was before
There is only you and what you make the truth
Which one of us would be the foolish one?
I am nothing without their love
You know, I need some understanding
And if I sold my soul for a bag of gold to you
It will all go black, it will all go back to the way it is supposed to be
And they will know how I love them
Then I'll leave your town and never look back
And now I don't know why, but I still try to smile
When there won't be a moon and there won't be a sun
So did I, but she up and died in a fit of vanity
Now I have been sent to my room I've been sat in a chair
And we will share a drink, yeah we will share our fears
I could do good with some explaining
And you think I need some discipline, well, I have my share
We'll get some lighter heads for our heavy hearts
Which one of us would be the fool?
They say they don't know when but a day is gonna come
And I'll get home and meet my friends at our favorite bar
And every man wanted her, yeah and so did I
So I'll just sing my song and I'll pass a hat
If I could just speak up I think I would say that there is no truth
When they talk at me like I'm just a child
Well, I'm not a child, no, I am much younger than that
Could you please start explaining?
They will know how I love them
Is it true what I heard about the Son of God?
Could you please start explaining?
Which one of us would be the fool?
