I know we come from different worlds
Maybe to you I seem so typical
But I want to hear the truth
I want to know what it feels like to be in your shoes
Maybe there is a way that we can leave space to hear hushed voices
Baby there is a way that we can do a better job of listening
'Cause if the world has been cruel to you
I'll try to understand
Ooh, because what good can I do
If I don't try to understand?
If I look totally confused
It doesn't mean that I'm not hearing you
Maybe I'm wrestling with the truth
Wondering why our world seems to be broken in two
Maybe there is a way that we can leave space to hear hushed voices
Baby there is a way that we can do a better job of listening
'Cause if the world has been cruel to you
I'll try to understand
Ooh, because what good can I do
If I don't try to understand?
Even when I can't (understand)
Even when I won't (understand)
Even when I shouldn't understand
Even when I can't (understand)
Even when I won't (understand)
Even when I shouldn't, I'll try to understand
