Understanding
Mystic Diversions Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here it is, what you know is what you don't know about me.
It ain't no mistery 'cause what you see is what you don't see about me.
You can change the world by the change of the heart but you can't change me.
Sweet charity won't you help me now?
I say, all I need is understanding but I won't let you down.
I know there are too demanding but I'll love safe in sound.
Here it is what you say is what you don't say about me.
And I'm so sensitive to what you feel and what you don't feel about me.
You can change the world by the change of the heart but you can't change me.
Sweet charity won't you help me now?
I say, all I need is understanding but I won't let you down.
I know there are too demanding but I'll love safe in sound.
You can change the world by the change of the heart but you'll never change me.
Sweet charity won't you help me now?




All we need is understanding but I won't let you down.
I know there are too demanding but I'll love safe in sound.

The lyrics also reveal a sensitive side of the singer, acknowledging that they are affected by how others feel about them. The final statement, "you can change the world by the change of the heart but you'll never change me," emphasizes that while the singer may seem unchanging to others, they are committed to fighting for understanding and acceptance.
