Lyrics
Wish Them Well
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.
Victimized, bereaved, and disappointed, seemingly at every turn, I still resist feeling defeated, or cynical
I have come to believe that anger and grudges are burning embers in the heart not worth carrying through life
The best response to those who wound me is to get away from them - and wish them well
All that you can do is wish them well
All that you can do is wish them well
Spirits turned bitter by the poison of envy
Always angry and dissatisfied
Even the lost ones, the frightened and mean ones
Even the ones with a devil inside
Thank your stars you're not that way
Turn your back and walk away
Don't even pause and ask them why
Turn around and say goodbye
People who judge without a measure of mercy
All the victims who will never learn
Even the lost ones, you can only give up on
Even the ones who make you burn
The ones who've done you wrong
The ones who pretended to be so strong
The grudges you've held for so long
It's not worth singing that same sad song
Even though you're going through hell
Just keep on going
Let the demons dwell
Just wish them well
