I wish I could,
I wish I were as free as the ocean,
Be able to communicate each and every-emotion,
I wish I were better than who I am,
But I forgot about every problem and just ran.
I wish I could,
And still wish to,
Continue doing everything I start,
But can you really heal every broken heart?
I wish I could,
Feed everyone who's hungry,
Be there for those who don't have a buddy,
Give a roof to someone who doesn't have one,
Clothes for those who don't have the perfect fit.
I know this could sound cliché to those who-have all of these,
But you forget that there are people in the world who can't watch life like movies,
A little compassion won't hurt you,
A little empathy won't scrape your knees,
A little kindness won't destroy your day,
A little generosity won't **** your joy,
So do what you can for that little boy.
I started with myself,
Ended up on another,
There is an art, my friend, to these lines,
If only this could one day reach the headlines,
I would sway my head from side to side,
Thanking god for keeping humanity alive .
