I wish life was fair.
I wish love was as real as the air.

I wish time worked on our time.
I wish it wasn't death we face at the end of the line.

I wish religion wasn't such a controversy.
I wish we could all believe in ourselves properly.

I wish I had a dad that cared if I went to be hungry or not.
I wish where I am going isn't so hot.

I wish life was a wish granting factory.
I wish there was no hate or discriminate, don't you agree?

I wish we were all kept together by our families.

I wish we could give support to complete strangers.
I wish the world wasn't filled with so many dangers.

I wish money was free.
I wish poverty was for the wealthy.

I wish beauty was really in the eye of the beholder.
I wish I could love again, maybe I should have told her.

I wish hearts could never be broken.
I wish we could find each other's problems and help solve them.

BUT.

But if life were fair would really ever learn?
But if love were real all the time would we know it's not?

But if time worked our way how would we appreciate it?
But if we didn't face death how would we be grateful for life?

But if religion wasn't there how would we know what to believe in or not believe in?
But if we all believed in ourselves properly wouldn't we all be full of pride?

But if I had a dad that cared would I know how to?
But if it isn't so hot how would I appreciate the cool air?

But if life were a wish granting factory would we appreciate what we have?
But if there was no hate or discriminate would we know compassion or kindness?

But if everyone's families were together how would we be different from each other?

But if we gave support to strangers would we not be putting ourselves at risk?
But if there was no danger to face would we appreciate safety?

But if money were free why would we have to work?
But if poverty was for the wealthy would any of us be wealthy?

But if beauty was in the eye of the beholder would we not all find the same people attractive?
But if I told her would I have you now?

But if hearts never broke would we learn, get wiser or grow?
But if we helped everyone with their problems would they not add more problems to our problems?

POINT IS.

Point is to appreciate.
Point is to love.
Point is to respect.
Point is to grow.
Point is to resemble kindness.
Point is to support.
Point is to be grateful so have it worse.
Point is to work hard.
Point is to learn.
Point is live.
Point is to life.
