it's not for me to understand

i passed a home the other day

the yard was filled with kids at play

and on the sidewalk of this home

a little boy stood all alone

his smiling face was sweet and kind

but i could see the boy was blind

he listened to the children play

i bowed my head and there i prayed

dear lord above why must this be

and then these words came down to me

after all you're just a man

and it's not for you to understand

it's not for you to reason why

you too are blind without my eyes

so question not what i command

cause it's not for you to understand

now when i pray my prayer is one

i pray his will not mine be done

after all i'm just a man

and it's not for me to understand
