I Wish
I wish I was a mountain, majestic, far and high,
With a frigid, distant beauty that reaches to the sky,
To be that grand sierra that you could never change ...
Oh, I'd give it all to be a mountain range.
I wish I was a country where you have never been,
That you have always longed for, but your eyes have never seen,
I wish I was that country - as distant as a star ...
Oh, I'd trade it all to be a land too far.
I wish I was a flame that you could never harm,
Dancing in the darkness - clear and bright and warm,
If I could be that flame, I'd burn away your ire ...
Oh, I'd give up all I have to be a fire.
I wish I was a stone, you could kick me down the beach,
Throw me to the deep, so my heart was out of reach,
I wish I was a stone - silent, cold and hard ...
Oh, I'd trade it all to be a rocky shard.
I wish I was a knife, with edge of sharpened steel,
I could cut your heart out, so you'd know how it feels,
I wish I was a knife, to sever all our ties ...
Oh, I'd give it all to be a blade as wise ...
For my will is LOST ... when I look in your eyes.
