I wish
I wish
What a weird thing to say
I wish
I wish
We say it every day
We say it as we start the day
We say it when we go and pray
We say it when we talk with friends
We'll say it when we reach the end
I wish that I was taller
I wish that I was smarter
I wish that I was richer
I wish I had a partner
If we wish for all these things
Why don't we try and get them
If we wish to write to change the world
Only we can take up the pen
In order to make things happen
We must sail our ship, be your own captain
You are the captain of your fate
You are the one who shouldn't wait
Wait
Wait for the wind to pass
Wait for the seasons to come and go
Wait for the fates to change
Wait for people to just, know
It's easy to just wish for something
But it's harder to go and get what they seek
How hard it is to do
Yet how easy it is to speak
What if instead of wishing, we went out to chase
Chase what we want
Maybe it's just me, but if we all did that
Wouldn't the world just be a much better place

I sit here,
Stewing in my ****,
Sick of it.
My whole life crumbling around me,
How do I survive
They're taking me and making me into something that's much less than alive.
It's hard to believe
How little they understand
Everyone thinks that I can just
Take a stand
That I'm always on my game
Always ready to fight
That it's just me myself and I
That can fight for the rights
Of people like me
Is it that hard to see
I'm not the only person who has been set free
I'm not the only person that others call queer
I'm not the only one, I'm far from alone here
They say they understand, but that's far from what's real
They always make me remember where I came from, yeah big deal.
I know I'm from Vancouver, and I can afford an education,
But ******* if you think you understand my situation.
It’s hard enough for me to endure this pain
But don’t lecture me about how I’m hurting my own brain
By taking a break, sleeping in for once
Maybe even taking a break from the studio to get lunch
But honestly I’m sick of you ******* on me
Just please for once let me be

There's always someone just like you
Who'll talk like you
Who'll walk like you
Who learned to start and stop like you
Who can speak like you
Who can read like you
Who can run, jump and be free like you
There's always someone just like you
Someone who is better
Someone who's faster
Someone who's stronger
Someone who's wiser just because they've been on this earth for longer
But there's nobody who can feel like you
Nobody who can dream like you
There's nobody who can hope like you
and wish like you
Someone who has that itch like you
That drive
That moxie
Someone who cried and screamed when they were poxy
Someone who cried into the night
As they tried so hard to scream and fight
When no one else would
There are so many people who are just like you
But nobody else can say they are you
