David Lingabee Songs & Songwriting

I don’t understand,
Invites someone’s care,
Patience and calm
Ignores one’s despair.

Caring and helping,
An inseparable pair,
Patience with calm
seems to sidestep despair.

I don’t understand,
Confusion is there,
Clear it all up,
Find those words of despair.

Chorus
Any problem you have,
Confusion before,
A misunderstanding
beginning it all.
I don’t understand,
Seems simple enough,
Learning those words
clears your way through the rough.

Words are so common,
We speak them in talk,
We write them in books,
In learning they balk.
Clear them all up,
Make them make sense,
Magically find
your confusion past tense.

Living in the now,
Demands you stay here,
Confusions are past,
To stay now you must clear.
Problems you have,
Confusions behind,
Clear up their words,
Be kind to your mind.
