There's a little girl livin' on the street   I don't understand   Turnin' tricks to get some food to eat   I don't understand   There's a mama prayin' to God to bring her baby back   I don't understand   I don't understand      There's a crack house down across the tracks   I don't understand   People tradin' smoke for cold hard cash   I don't understand   There's just no way this could be part of the greater plan   I don't understand   I don't understand      [Chorus]   Is everybody livin' in a world without windows?   Am I the only one who sees?   If this is all that's left of what was once the promised land, oh   I just can't comprerhend it   I just don't understand      There's a daddy walkin' out the door   I don't understand   Leavin' three kids who need him more   Than he understands   These days the trouble starts right where the family ends   I don't understand   I don't understand      [Chorus]   Is everybody livin' in a world without windows?   Am I the only one who sees?   If this is all that's left of what was once the promised land, oh   I just can't comprerhend it   I just don't understand      [Chorus]   Is everybody livin' in a world without windows?   Am I the only one who sees?   If this is all that's left of what was once the promised land, oh   I just can't comprerhend it   I just don't understand      [Tag]   I don't understand (repeat)
