Understanding
Mystic Diversions Lyrics

Here it is, what you know is what you don't know about me.
I may seem transparent, but what you think you know about me isn't the complete truth.

It ain't no mistery 'cause what you see is what you don't see about me.
My true self isn't always visible, but it's not a secret either.

You can change the world by the change of the heart but you can't change me.
Although you can transform the world with love, I remain immune to that kind of change.

Sweet charity won't you help me now?
I could use a helping hand from someone generous and kind-hearted.

I say, all I need is understanding but I won't let you down.
All I require is empathy and comprehension, and I promise not to disappoint.

I know there are too demanding but I'll love safe in sound.
I understand that my desires may be high-maintenance, but I'll give affection and loyalty in return.

Here it is what you say is what you don't say about me.
What you choose to vocalize about me doesn't necessarily represent the whole picture.

And I'm so sensitive to what you feel and what you don't feel about me.
I'm attuned to both the emotions you express and those you keep hidden.

You can change the world by the change of the heart but you can't change me.
My values and essence cannot be transformed solely through good intentions or positive attitudes.

Sweet charity won't you help me now?
Once again, I appeal to compassionate individuals for assistance.

All we need is understanding but I won't let you down.
Collectively, we would benefit from greater understanding, and I will uphold my end of the bargain.

I know there are too demanding but I'll love safe in sound.
I realize my requirements may appear excessive, but I will provide love and security in return.
