Alecia Elliott – I Don’t Understand

(Stephanie Bently/Adrienne Follese/Keith Follese)

There’s a little girl livin’ on the street

I don’t understand

Turnin’ tricks to get some 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

Is everybody livin’ in a world without windows

Am I the only one who ses

If this is all that’s left of what was once the promise land,oh

I just can’t comprehend 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

Then he understands

These days the trouble starts right where the family ends

I don’t understand

I don’t understand

Is everybody livin’ in a world without windows

Am I the only one who ses

If this is all that’s left of what was once the promise land,oh

I just can’t comprehend it

I just don’t understand

Is everybody livin’ in a world without windows

Am I the only one who ses

If this is all that’s left of what was once the promise land,oh

I just can’t comprehend it

I just don’t understand

I don’t understand
