These delicious days Leave a nasty taste We're carving out our space But are we really? I wish I could see clearly We're marching on To a stirring song With the bold and brave and strong But are we really? I wish I could see clearly Our every whim is tended to All you have to do is turn on And the sun shines in But does it really? I wish, I wish, I wish I could see clearly This deceptive light Beams down upon My humdrum life And everything's alright But is it really? I wish I could see Beyond my need That twists into a grotesque greed In the blink of an eye We're infected by The values that We used to deny I wish, I wish, I wish I could see clearly But in the end the future's bright In the end everything's alright Well...nearly I wish I could see clearly I wish I wish One more wish and then that's it I wish I could see clearly
