It's a mystery how we strive
Yet life takes it where it wants and we hope it turns out right
In these times of desperate straits
There are things we need to know but so lonely we all wait

Tell me , the child that I am
Where do I fit in this plan?
Teach me, come take my hand
Tell me how to understand

We are floating down the stream
Got to reach the other side before we see the dream
There is joy behind the shame
Will the secret give release? I am crying out in pain

Tell me , the child that I am
Where do I fit in this plan?
Teach me, come take my hand
Tell me how to understand

Tell me , the child that I am
Where do I fit in this plan?
Teach me, come take my hand
Oh help me to understand, Where do I fit in this plan?
Teach me, come take my hand
Tell me how to understand
You've got to take my hand
