I Wish Lyrics - Singles - Remedy

(Anderson/Meyer) 

Met a man from Ireland 

Drinking in a bar 

Although his voice was soft and warm 

His eyes were cold and hard 

He spoke of Irish children 

Knowing only war 

I wish I could've known him better 

I might've understood it all

(And) I wish there was something I could say 

Something to ease the pain away 

I hear the voice of Poland 

It's calling out to me 

Sighing, crying 

Dying to be free 

Their streets are full of armour 

Their eyes are full of tears 

Must they live this life of sadness 

For years and years and years 

(And) I wish there was something I could say 

Something to ease the pain away 

Photos 

I wish I was a hero 

Fighting for the rights of man 

Wish I was a tribesman 

In the hills of Afghanistan 

I wish I was a soldier 

Fighting for the peace 

Fighting down in El Salvador 

Fighting insanity, inhumanity 

I wish there was something I could say 

Something to ease the pain away
