Wish You Were Here
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
So,
so you think you can tell,
Heaven from hell,
Blue skies from pain,
Can you tell a green field,
From the cold steal rain
a smile from a veil,
Do you think you can tell?So,
So do you think we can change,
everybody that hates,
before its too late?
So proud to be free,
but who can we blame?
don't be ashamed,
do you think we can change?How I wish,
How I wish you were here,
We're one of the lost souls,
swimming in a fish bowl,
year after year,
running over the same old ground,
what have we found?
the same old fears,
I wish you were here,We dont need,
need any more pain,
we just need to remain
on the very same page,
so much to gain,
no more loosing a friend,
we're loosing ourselves,
we just need your help,
so glad you're hereSo glad you're here.
