We Don't Always Understand

Sometimes we get dealt all these cards
and have no idea how to play them

At times, we look and see all Aces
and other times we notice straight Jokers

WE DON'T ALWAYS UNDERSTAND
how to play

Then there is the time when the phone rings
and its not who we want it to be

But by the time we finish listening to the caller
our heart smiles because we realize the message was necessary

WE DON'T ALWAYS UNDERSTAND
when its time to listen

Then there is love. Confusing as it is
Even though it hurts, we should embrace it

When we get it, why do we fight and refuse it?
We say we are guarding our feelings,
but really we are pushing away life's most precious gift

WE DON'T ALWAYS UNDERSTAND
that life should be full of love

We get special priveledges
and soon we find ourselves getting too comfortable

Before we know it, we've abused our rights
and are left fighting to regain the trust we've broken

WE DON'T ALWAYS UNDERSTAND
the meaning of trust.
