I dedicate this song to Amethyst, Brandon, and Dorian. Recently, Brandon, Amethyst's son, asked Amethyst and Dorian to let him follow his own path. They had the courage to let him do so.

Understanding

There you go watching over me
There I go running away from you
There we go not knowing what to say
When we do speak it all comes out wrong anyway
Here I stand grateful for everything
I remain silent wanting your understanding

The mystery's solved it's all about letting go
I'll have to learn the hard way on my own
Step off the cliff and fall or fly
Either way the choice has to be mine

Every day I search the sky
For answers only I can find
'Cause once upon a long time ago
You kept the secrets of the grown-up world
Sheltered me, kept me safe from harm
But now it is my turn to wander the yearning darkness

The mystery's solved it's all about letting go
I've had to learn the hard way on my own
Entered the cavern no safety line
Either way the choice had to be mine

There you go your eyes loving me
There I go holding you in my arms
There we go, walking hand-in-hand
When there are secrets, we face the mystery together
Now we both know lessons learned
Our tears reflect sorrow and understanding
