I wish everything was simple I wish all I had to do Is wonder all loves unsolved riddles Believe in you I wish everyone was happy I wish all I had to say When you're the only one left standing at the dance that It'll be ok I wish people prayed For heaven here today No one needs to wait Know no fear or hate I wish God would write me letters And tell me all He meant to mean Or introduce me to love's author When my eyes don't see And She could take me through the lessons And I could trade some songs I wrote And though most the days I'd say we're just guessing It's enough to hold I wish people's hope Buried deep would grow Underneath old roads Break green leaves through stone I wish everything was simple I wish everyone would stay But if it's all a long-drawn circle You can go away And I might see you in a smile And I might hear you in a laugh I might meet you in a while Until then, it's a simple dream we had
