I wish I knew just what to say That would make the world a better place today But I can’t stop us all from spinning Or even change your mind Or ease the waves that smother you As they tumble in our lives 'Till it all just goes away
I wish I knew just what to say That we are all just make believe playing heroes for a day Or living in a dream that glimmers With a million distant lights Not cast away on desert shores Living shipwrecks as our lives 'Til it all just goes away
So don’t shut me out I’ve seen too much I’ll close my eyes And hold my breath 'Til we live out loud
As we turn away, lost astray, We break the game
I wish I knew just what to say That would make the world a better place today You are not the only one spinning Or hiding in the sky With broken wings like overtures We live with all our might 'Till it all just goes away
So don’t shut me out I’ve seen too much I’ll close my eyes And hold my breath 'Til we live out loud.
