A little more understanding. What a lovely thought. If only it were that easy.

I'm sitting at my desk. The sun is streaming through the window. It's a beautiful day ... but to quote Joni Mitchell: "I'm reading the news and it sure looks bad".

Now, more than ever, we could use "a little more understanding".

Fingers crossed. Here's hoping!

Gonna make some conversation
Just a few words, some communication
There's gotta be some common ground
We know what goes around comes around

Take a walk in my shoes
And I'll take a walk in your shoes
You know we all could use
A little more understanding (understanding)

Yeah, a little more understanding
Got to find a way
A little, a little ...
A little more understanding

Did you ever wonder why things went wrong?
We used to smile and just play along
You'd say you're right and I'd say the same
But let me say somethin' before I take the blame

Take a walk in my shoes
And I'll take a walk in your shoes
I think it's time to choose
A little more understanding (understanding)

Yeah, a little more understanding
Got to find a way
A little, a little ...
A little more understanding

Solo

You take a walk in my shoes
And I'll take a walk in your shoes
What have we got to lose
A little more understanding (understanding)

Yeah, a little more understanding
Got to find a way
A little, a little ...
A little more understanding

A little more understanding

How can we refuse
A little more understanding

A little more understanding

A little, a little ...
A little more understanding

Ooo, ooo
Ooo, ooo

You know we all could use
A little more understanding

Ooo, ooo
Ooo, ooo

I think it's time we choose
A little more understanding, yeah

Ooo, ooo
Ooo, ooo

How can we refuse, yeah
A little more understanding
