I Wis You Were Here Lyrics - Singles - Alpha Blondy

So, so you think you can tell 

Heaven from Hell 

Blue skys from pain. 

Can you tell a green field 

From a cold steel rail? 

A smile from a veil? 

Do you think you can tell? 

And did they get you to trade 

Your heros for ghosts? 

Hot ashes for trees? 

Hot air for a cool breeze? 

Cold comfort for change? 

And did you exchange 

A walk on part in the war 

For a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I Wish You Were Here. 

We're just two lost souls 

Swimming in a fish bowl 

Year after year 

Running over the same old ground. 

What have we found? 

The same old fears. 

Oh I Wish you were here 

So, so you think you can tell 

Heaven from Hell 

Blue skys from pain. 

Can you tell a green field 

From a cold steel rail? 

A smile from a veil? 

Do you think you can tell? 

We're just two lost souls 

Swimming in a fish bowl 

Year after year 

Running over the same old ground. 

What have we found? 

The same old fears. 

Oh I Wish you were here 

How I wish how I wish you were here X2 

We're just two lost souls (How I wish how I wish you were here) 

Swimming in a fish bowl 

Year after year 

Running over the same old ground. (How I wish how I wish you were here) 

What have we found? 

The same old fears. (How I wish how I wish you were here)
