We`ll Understand In Time
written and performed by Dan D. Dirges

To the west was a setting sun, to the east life had just begun not a one here will make it out alive
And I stared up to the sky asking why. In time, yes in time, we`ll understand it all, in time

Saw many idols made of clay and crumbled underneith the weight were lost souls, too late to pray
And I stood atop the hill asking why. In time, yes in time, we`ll understand it all, in time

Saw a three legged dog walking, searching for somewhere out there to belong, lost and alone
And I hung my head and cried asking why. In time, yes in time, we`ll understand it all, in time

Heard a mother in the morning crying. Her only child had just died, no last words and no goodbyes
And she wept over the grave asking why. In time, yes in time, we`ll understand it all, in time

The rains came falling down and never even hardly made a sound upon this road we`re traveling on
And I tried to find the sun to ask why. In time, yes in time, we`ll understand it all, in time
