WISH

Wish I knew the words to tell you how I feel
And wish I could play the music to the only song that's real
The hymn of life and love; the song beyond what we're dreaming of
Wish I didn't wish at all

Sometimes the nightmare creeps in and the 
Sound of harmony can hardly be heard through the din
Of clashing armies breaking hearts
Makes me wonder when the healing starts
Wish I didn't wish at all

Like being lost in the forest
Burdened with the fears of others
Wandering lonely in the darkness; anxious for a little light
Staking out a homestead in that wilderness
Then hanging on tight

'Til the sun comes shining down through the trees
A fractured unity that all the people see
The blessed dawn allows us to recall the garden before the fall
Wish I didn't wish at all

When day is done
When the dream is over and all the wars are won
Will the lesson be learned or will the angels need to play the game again
Building new castles to fill with new kings and queens and knights and pawns

Oh Bishop, tell me, "When?" my cries might reach the Source above
A prayer for the end of time to come or for the 
Start of the reign of love
But my prayer's just the hollow hope of another prisoner 
Trapped within the walls

Wish I didn't wish at all
Wish I didn't wish at all
Wish I didn't wish at all
