It's in the darkness of believing
It's in the shadows where we have to stand
Beside the loving and the grieving
Oh I'll never understand
It's in the way it has to reach us
It's in the restless of the shifting sand
And all the truth it has to teach us
Oh I'll never understand
CHORUS
Holding back to listen to the ocean
Holding back to dance inside the storm
I may be foolish but I don't care
As long as you are there
From edge to edge we take our pleasure
We follow blindly each insane command
We're judged by some eternal measure
Oh I'll never understand
Oh and peace is child to no-one
We're held together by an endless strand
First to be woven then to be undone
Oh I'll never understand
CHORUS
Soon all the promises are broken
And expectation passes underhand
And not a gentle word is spoken
Oh I'll never understand
It's in the darkness of believing
It's in the shadows where we have to stand
Beside the loving and the grieving
Oh I'll never understand
CHORUS
