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 .

I Wish I Could
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 .
