I Wish

This is a song preformed (and I would assume written by) by Blake Gardner of the once existent rap duo called Pushmode. The song is called "I wish".


I wish. I wish.

I wish that I could handle,
I wish that I could sing,
I wish that I could be good example what a man should be,
I wish that I could make people understand my thought,
Forget people, I wish I could understand my own thought.

I wish that I could be a better Christian,
Wish that I could crawl inside your ears and make you listen,
I wish that my position wasn't here on a stage with a Mic, but it's the best way that I know that I can show you all the light.

I wish that I could learn to stop complaining,
Wish that I could learn to enjoy the weather even when it's raining,
And I wish that I could learn to love people, like I know you love people, but sometimes I need reminding that we're equal.

I wish that depression didn't run in my family,
I wish that a lesson could be learned from these casualties,
I wish that oppression could be ended everywhere,
I wish my nation would be changed by a prayer.

I wish that I was different,
I wish that I was better,
But I'm better off writin' off my wishes in a letter,
And I better not take my little wishes too far, cause my own wish is none to next to what you have in store.

I wish that I was different,
I wish that I was better,
But I'm better off writin' off my wishes in a letter,
And I better not take my little wishes too far, cause my own wish is none to next to what you have in store.

I wish my past didn't exist,
I wish that I backtrack and take back what makes me like this,
And I wish that friend would stop cutting her skin,
I wish she knew true beauty truly lied within,
I wish that suicide wasn't easier than life,
And I wish that you and I could sit down and make it right,
And wish I could play chess with my granddad again,
But he died of lung cancer and I'm stuck with the pen.

I wish that could toss my material things, just take up my cross and nod my head to the king,
And I wish that I could eat my own words with a spoon, but if I did that I'd be eatin' here until noon.
Assume just for a second I guess, what if we all got own wishes would it be like this? Or would greed supersede and everything fall apart? I think sometimes we take our own little wishes too far.

I wish that I was different,
I wish that I was better,
But I'm better off writin' off my wishes in a letter,
And I better not take my little wishes too far, cause my own wish is none to next to what you have in store.

I wish that I was different,
I wish that I was better,
But I'm better off writin' off my wishes in a letter,
And I better not take my little wishes too far, cause my own wish is none to next to what you have in store.

That's what I wish.
That's what I wish.
That's what I wish.

That's what I wish.
