• I Wish, I Wish

  I wish I knew, I wish I knew
  What makes me, me, and what makes you, you.
  It’s just another point of view, ooo
  A state of mind I’m going through, yes
  So what I see is never true, ahhh

  I wish I could tell, I wish I could tell,
  What makes a heaven what makes a hell
  And do I get to ring my bell, ooo
  Or land up in some dusty cell, no
  While others reach the big hotel, yeah

  I wish I had, I wish I had
  The secret of good and the secret of bad
  Why does this question drive me mad? ahhh
  ‘Cause I was taught when but a lad, yes,
  That bad was good and good was bad, ahhh

  I wish I knew the mystery of
  That thing called hate, and that thing called love
  What makes the in-between so rough? ahhh
  Why is it always push and shove? ahhh
  I guess I just don’t know enough, yes
