about

An upbeat song calling for more abundant understanding and respect in the world.

lyrics

I've been walking all around and it's getting hard to see
I know we're all the same but you don't look like me
Until the walls come down and we're shining sea to sea
Do you sweat it, you in it, you get it, you dig it?

Shake my hand, shake my hand, I don't want to be understood I wanna understand

I've been through this dusty town and I've peeled back the centuries
We've got so far to go towards liberty
We can't stop progress now or we'll pay the penalty
Do you sweat it, you in it, you get it, you dig it?

Shake my hand, shake my hand, I don't want to be understood I wanna understand

I didn't get my cap and gown and I don't blame economy
I won't die with a frown if I die in poverty
I'd spread it all around if I ever won the lottery
Do you want it, I got it, come get it, you dig it?

Shake my hand, shake my hand, I don't want to be understood I wanna understand

about

Cranston Dean Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey

If you’ve never heard Cranston Dean perform before, you’re robbing yourself of an amazing experience. Dean’s voice takes you back to a time when the singer/songwriter played the bars of Asbury during the heydays of The Circuit, and blew people’s minds with their lyrical poetry.
