Being misunderstood

Misunderstood By Wideawake

under the surface
we're all the same
searching for purpose
running from shame
I'm sorry I'm not all the things that you want
all the things that you thought i would be
i guess im not like you,
not something you're used to
maybe something brand new
you've never seen

i wish i could read your mind,
be one of your kind,
i missed you in my time, misunderstood
i wish i could somehow be
all that you want from me,
I' m in good company

I got your letter, but tell me who's to blame,
and do you feel better, causing me pain?
So much pain.
I'm sorry I'm not all the things that you want
all the things that you thought i would be.
I guess im not like you,
not something you're used too.
maybe something brand new you've never seen.

I wish i could read your mind, be one of your kind.
I missed you in my time- misunderstood.
I wish i could somehow be all that you want from me.
I'm in good company- misunderstood. Misunderstood.
I kinda wish that i could be understood.

I'm sorry im not all the things that you want,
all the things that you thought i would be.
I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.

I wish i could read your mind, be one of your kind,
i missed you in my time- misunderstood.
i wish i could somehow be all that you want from me.
im in good company- misunderstood. Misunderstood.
I wish that i could be understood.

Under the surface- we're all the same

I wish I had heard this song years ago. It is a song by Wideawake and if you go on their website is is available to listen to. www.wideawake.com I can't tell you enough how this lyrics could be the athem to my life. It truly explains my life... and obviously, I'm not the only one that has felt this way. If life is meant to be this way, and God is the only one that will "understand" me... then what else am I searching for. God is suppose to be enough. Enough joy, enough life, enough peace... enough love.

But I know that God wants to use each of us to be an extension of who He is. If we can truly reflect God, then perhaps "all the things that I will be" will still be misunderstood but I could find peace in that. God told us that we could never comprehend Him. So in relation to that maybe there is a part of us that we will never be able to comprehend since we are created in His image. For "under the surface- we're all the same", we were made by the same creator by the same awesome God. Uniquely designed yet still reflecting Him.

So I can't wait for the day that I will be His kind until then... "I wish I could read your mind, be one your kind". Truly belonging to Him and only Him... even if it means being misunderstood.
