On the day we’re born/ and start to cry
On the day we’re born/ and start to cry

There’ll be some tough times/ but we gotta try
No matter what/ you’re going through
No matter what it is/ that you’re going through
Somebody’s there /who can see you through
Understand now, can’t you see?
Understand set you free /set you free

Interlude
They might try to say /there’s no hope for you
They might try to say/ there’s no hope for you
Then leave just to me /then you can make it through
Understand we just see
Understand, we’re set to free

Interlude
In a lonely hour after midnight
When the rain starts coming down
There ain’t another human being inside
On the edge of a lonely town

I think I heard one dog howling
He was howlin’ at the old dead end
And I know what it’s like to be that dog howlin’
Seachin’ for a long-lost friend
Everybody needs understandin’ all over the world
We all need some lovin’ understandin’
Just to make it through
Make it through the
