Where does the misunderstanding come from,
demanding that we be outstanding and then some?
Perfection never was a requirement
although some might say we desired it.
So then for times when things get old I might get cynical
I see that I don't see.
Do they see you when they see me?

In honesty there's room for improvement
Thoughts may change, the truth be told,
A closed mind will leave you empty
Use your mind to use your soul.

Alert the press, their dogmas are a mess,
Opinions shift, a broken sift, an empty hand,
And billboards ask, 'where do they stand.'
Do all streams lead to one sea?

Logically there's room for all questions
Though the answers aren't all known,
Objectivities the myth of plenty,
Who doubt His truth within their soul.

    The song is about how the world needs BOTH Spirituality and Fact.

    "Use your mind to use your soul" means just that. Use facts to become spiritual, and don't see only one as the complete truth.

    The song touches on corruption of the church when it tries to become fact:

    "Do all streams lead to one sea?" means 'is Christianity the only truth? No, it is all in the eyes of the beholder.'

    "Thoughts may change, the truth be told. A closed mind will lead you empty." means 'Science will continue to prove the parts of the Bible wrong, but it will NEVER disprove God. You need to be open to these changes or else you will be left empty.'

    This is one of my favorite Five Iron songs. God I miss them.
