Audrey Assad - Wish You Were Here lyrics

So you think, 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?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
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
What have we found? The same old fears
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
What have we found? The same old fears
I wish you were here i wish you were here
Oh, I wish you were here
I wish you were here
