Tonight I find it hard to sleep each sound and squeak i hear keeps me staring at the ceiling Oh it's dark as night outside and i can't stand the quiet that it brings me and i got too much on my mind i think it's time to take a drive and leave it all behind i've got a song that's halfway there i think it needs the ocean air i'm gonna grab my guitar and get in my car oh, i need some understanding i need a little love gonna speed down to the oceanside in a race with the stars above with my guitar in hand i sit down in the sand i can see the sun is coming Songtextecourage fill and crack the sky with purple silver and golden light join the day from night on the shoreline a fisherman with the bait on his line and a rod in his hand is ready to greet the day he turns around to notice me and the two of us are patiently waiting for the suns rays i just need some understanding and a little love and somehow i am thinking now i can get what i've been dreaming of... but this fisherman is closing in i think he could be crazy he says, "would you ride with me, ohhh i could use the company i got a fish to catch and you have got a song to sing." his eyes are wide as the boat would sway oh would you like to say you have my attention see i cannot hear to write your song but you don't have too long to show me what you're working with i like to give you just a little somethin' and you may think it's nothing on first listen in the time it takes for you to make love, you can break love waste love and throw it all away... but all you need is faith and hope will bring a brighter day and every time you love let it lift someone else up if someone tries to burn you give him your hand and turn and pick him up when he's all alone now if you find yourself getting frustrated try not to get too jaded or you could go insane, like me and tell your man you must be crazy your m.o. is lazy when it comes to love if every failure and turning tide i toss the blue moon rays but it never comes back to me so have some faith, you say and hope will find its way well i doubt what you're sure of and it seems to me the greatest of these is love but it's so hard to love... we were sitting on his boat our backs to each other he was giving me a little time and all that he said was hurting my head wondering how to leave the selfishness behind all that i could say is that it's so hard to love... the way that You always do i stepped off the boat and thanked the man not sure what i was thankful for when i turned back around to see him again he was already gone walking back from the water to my guitar that's when the light came on i knew what he was talking about i know how to finish my song LORD, i just need some understanding, i need a little love and i want to sing this song to somebody who does what they're made of Oh, we need some understanding We all need love...
