Thank You for Understanding Me
for Jon, Maria, and Franchesca Baker
Descending from the Mafia
Coming from a strange family
Transcending schizophrenia
As best I can but anyway
Paranoid understandably
Psychotic but the harmless kind
Doing the best I can today
Out of my mind but out to find
Out what this madness is about
After all as the sadness ends
Glad to be someone who has friends
For the rest of being this way
I find myself in humankind
Falling down through a crack to rise
To the occasion of to be
Having been occasionally
Occasionally by surprise
Here I am about to find out
Thank you for understanding me
Steven Curtis Lance
