Wiz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Out in this world of hatred and sin
The young ones are supossed to live by thir fear
Th violent abuse, we've seen too much
Dead there he lies for beliefs and his race
When will we realize that it's time to stop?
Stop all the fighting and talk it all out
Instead of teaching how to win in war
I'm not the same as you are
Respect me for the one that I am
[CHORUS]
Voices are calling from inside my head
I can not see them, who makes me feel bad
I know that I'm not God's prodigal child
Spread your eyes, open and understand
Into the world of future unreal
I hope it will be soon someday
A better place for you and for me
To rise our child's, it may take us a while
Is it a wish, or is it the truth?
Ask someone else, 'cause I don't have a clue
Now it's the time to make up your minds
The way of the world depends on your choice
I'm not the same as you are
Respect me for the one that I am
[CHORUS]
Understand...
Understand...
[CHORUS]
The song "Understand" by Wiz begins with the powerful statement that we live in a world filled with hate and sin, where young people are forced to live in fear of violence and abuse. The lyricist notes that there has been too much violence and death due to beliefs and race. The plea for the world to realize that it is time to stop fighting and start talking is resonant throughout the song. The song pushes for children to be taught from a young age what is wrong or right, rather than how to win a war. The lyrics challenge the listener to respect others for who they are, rather than judging them for their differences.
The song continues with a note of hope that the future will be better for all of us, despite our differences. It calls for a better world for our children, which may take time to achieve, but it is worth working towards. We must all make a choice that will determine the way the world moves forward. The chorus calls for the listener to open their eyes and understand that everyone is different, and that we must embrace these differences to create a better future.
