I Wish You Were Here - Alpha Blondy

So so you think you can tell

Heaven from hell

Blue skys from pain

Can you tell a green field

From a cold steel rail

A smile from a veil

Do you think you can tell

And did they get you to trade

Your heros for ghosts

Hot ashes for trees

Hot air for a cool breeze

Cold comfort for change

And did you exchange

A walk on a part in the war

For a lead role in a cage

How I wish how I wish you were here

We're just two lost souls

Swimming in a fish bowl

Year after year

Running over the same old ground

What have we found

The same old fears

Oo I wish you were here

So so you think you can tell

Heaven from hell

Blue sky from pain

Can you tell a green field

From a cold steel rail

A smile from a veil

Do you think you can tell

We're just two lost souls

Swimming in a fish bowl

Year after year

Running over the same old ground

What have we found

The same old fears

Oow I wish you were here

How I wish how I wish you were here

How I wish how I wish you were here

We're just two lost souls

Swimming in a fish bowl

Year after year

Running over the same old ground

What have we found

The same old fears

How I wish how I wish you were here
