Let me ask you this

In the face of death

Do you understand the dawn

Do you understand the fawn

When it takes its first breath

Do you understand this

When another person you miss

Is far away from you

Do you understand why trees grow bark

Do you understand the song of the lark

When it receives no cue

Do you understand this

If you received a kiss

From the one you love

Do you understand the movement of the stars

Do you understand what a prison bars

From the glory of heaven above

Do you understand this

Because to understand all of this

Makes you no greater

Do you understand the infinite

Do you understand where the angels sit

Looking down at sister and brother

Do you understand this

You cannot tell me you understand all this

Why must you try to explain splendor

Do you understand the holy

Do you understand power totally

Speechless in the eyes of wonder

You do not understand this
