Have To Understand Lyrics

Time for a Compassionate Point of View.

I'm not just the some of the Few.

Who really really Care about You.

It's True.

You may be their Best Friend.

And tell them to Stop Drinking and Doing Drugs.

But you know it really bugs.

Them.

Whenever you do that.

So let me show you the 'Alternative Way'.

So many Words you can Say.

To Persuade.

Them.

Everyone Deserves a Second Chance.

First you have to Understand.

Why they got this way.

And as long as they have never Used or Abused.

Anyone else.

Give them a Hand.

Understand.

And show them the Exit.

Cus they mostly got this way.

Because of the Parents they have to deal with.

And I Understand.

Believe me.

My Mother was an Alcoholic.

Rage and Destruction was her Middle Name.

I'm sure you've had to deal with the Same.

Be it Alcoholic, Drug Addicted or Abusive Parents.

I had one, so as all of us know, it's never easy.

But you have to 'Mean' these words.

When you say them.

You have to...

(Chorus)

Have To Understand.

Why they Drink and do Drugs.

Why they're Suicidal.

And why they Feel Depressed.

Oppressed and Repressed.

There's so much Pressure.

From Friends, TV, and Society.

To get Wasted and Loaded.

Or Lose your Virginity.

Have to have a Deeper Understanding.

Why they got this way.

And what 'Trauma' they had to Deal with when they were Children.

Have To Understand.

Just Have To Understand.

Show them the way out.

And Give them a Hand.

No Guilt Intended.

If anything it's people like you I've Defended.

As long as you still don't Bully people around.

Use or Abuse anyone.

I'll give you a Hand.

Or Smash someone's Face to the Ground.

(End of Chorus).

Have to be Compassionate.

Got to Give them a Hand.

In the Hardest of Times.

A Different Point of View is what we all Need.

Can't get attached to the Greed.

It's okay to Sacrifice for what is Right.

Even if you have to do it in the Middle of the Night.

It's Alright.

You've already Won the Fight.

Only Battle you need to Win.

Is the one with Yourself in the End.

So Remember to always Understand.

Cus when you Give that Helping Hand.

Everyone can Stand.

Up and Rise.

Remember that.

You are the Prize...
