[زين العابدين إبراهيم]

Wish you were here




So, so you think you can tell


Heaven from Hell
,
Blue sky's from pain
.
Can you tell a green field


From a cold steel rail
?
A smile from a veil
?
Do you think you can tell
?
And did they get you to trade


Your heroes for ghosts
?
Hot ashes for trees
?
Hot air for a cool breeze
?
Cold comfort for change
?
And 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 how we found


The same old fears
.
Wish you were here
