Lyrics

“Beyond Understanding”
(Lyrics - C. Webster, Music - M. Novak)

UNDERSTANDING

Learning was easy when all was brand new
A child's mind was open watching for clues
Mimicking with practice and told how to act
Nothing is questioned all taken as fact

Young minds look to be unique from the pack
Starting to shift from told rules to abstract
The self reflects changes as we evolve
Puzzle's now easy to define and solve

CHORUS:
Understanding = Easy when young
Understanding = Change seen as fun
Understanding = You were in control
Beyond Understanding = Now lost in a black hole

Midlife is seen as commanding life's game
In charge of changes, rules and names
Understanding it but speaking in tongues
Conversing with ease but confusing the young

UNDERSTANDING

Locked in your ways as change takes hold
Condemning young minds as being too bold
Finding comfort in your proven old ways
Refusing to accept the changes by day

UNDERSTANDING

CHORUS:

Age comes quickly with your ways now old
New minds are breaking your coveted mold
Once seen as experts, mentors and sages
Now finding yourself stuck in the dark ages

UNDERSTANDING

The modern world changes for each generation
Madness of change undermining the nation
Starting at an age with 4 party lines
Now just confused and not finding a rhyme.

UNDERSTANDING

CHORUS:
