I wish you freedom,
I wish you peace.
I wish you nights of stars
that beckon you to sleep.

I wish I could be there, but I can't.

I wish you places,
that sit so still.
Where people never ever change
And never ever will.
I wish I could hold you
and make you understand

I wish I could be there, but I can't.

I wish you wisdom,
I wish you years.
I wish you armies to conquer all your fears.
I wish you courage
For all that life demands

I wish I could be there, but I can't.

I know I've said it,
but I'll say it once again,
I wish I could be there, but I can't.


Quite possibly one of the best songs ever written.
Just saying.
