Understanding Lyrics

It seems like only yesterday
I didn't have a clue
I stood alone not knowing where to turn
Now suddenly I look around, everything looks new
I don't know why but i think i'm startin' to learn

They call it understanding or willingness to grow
I'm finally understanding there's so much I could know

Until the day you came along I used to just be lost
I only heard the things I wanted to hear
It always seemed like no one cared then you took the time
An now I look and everything seems clear

You've got me understanding you've really helped to see
You've got me understanding it's meant so much to me
You've got me understanding you've given me some pride
I'm finally understanding you're really on my side
