So
So you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell
Blue skies from pain
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

Did they get you to trade
Your heroes for ghosts
Hot ashes for trees
And hot air for a cool breeze
And cold comfort for change?
Did you exchange
A walk-on 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
And what have we found?
The same old fear
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
And what have we found?
The same old fear
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
And how I wish you were here
I wish you were here

Do do do do do
Do do do do do
Do do do do do
Do do do do do...

I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here, wish you were here
Wish you were here, wish you were here, here

I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were
