Understand Myself Lyrics

I was gazing through a silent mist

At a distant fountain

And I prayed Lord, oh Lord

Help me understand myself

I'm aware of everything I've missed

Need to climb that mountain

So I pray Lord, oh Lord

Help me understand myself

I'm a poor boy on the run

I have never seen the sun

I'm not safe inside this system

All the lessons that I've learned

All the bridges that I've burned

I want you to sit and listen

There's a passion I just can't define

Like a wave that's breaking

So I pray Lord, oh Lord

Help me understand myself

I get shivers running down my spine

And my nerves are shaking

So I pray Lord, oh Lord

Help me understand myself

There's a hellhound on my trail

He will get me if I fail

To be righteous and observant

Is there music for the poor?

Will there be a sudden cure?

Let that tune now be my servant

Grind, it's a grind

It's a back, backbreaking grind

It's easy to ignore the rose

That blossoms in the distance

Grind, it's a grind

It's a back, backbreaking grind

I'm heading for the overload

I know I need assistance

Grind, it's a grind

It's a back, backbreaking grind

Maturity is far from me

Can I be even older?

Grind, it's a grind

It's a back, backbreaking grind

No, I don't need prosperity

A weight upon my shoulder

I was gazing through a silent mist

At a distant fountain

And I prayed Lord, oh Lord

Help me understand myself

And I prayed Lord, oh Lord

Help me understand myself
