I Wish

I WISH

Music/Lyrics : Irina-R-

Why, why, why did you leave so fast?

I didn’t get a chance to know you, apart from word of mouth

Where are the stars I should look at to feel you’re still alive somewhere, watching over us?

I wish, I wish I’d had a chance to know you more

I wish, I wish I could‘ve spent time learning from you all

Would’ve loved to hear you play a song,

Or sculpt a piece of wood; want to hear you joke around

Wish I could take your hand while you explain how the love you plant grows

At least, I would’ve had a chance to know you more

At least, at least I would’ve known better where I come from

I am of your blood, our faces look alike,

The way you used to walk is so like mine

Now I understand, I feel my parents’ pain

The truth is: life here below is upside down, you’re nowhere to be found

I wish, I wish there was a place where I could put secrets

And whisper words to you, an interlude until I wake

I wish, I wish I’d had a chance to know you more

I wish, I wish I could have spent time learning from you all
