Something to Say

I wish I had something to say

When I hear you carry on that way

I wish I had something to share

Something forthright, honest and fair

I wish I had some good advice to give

Something other than live and let live

If I could, I would show you the way

I wish I had something to say

You complain and you feel so abused

You’re so angry, so sad and confused

You’ve lost all your faith in mankind

And you’re afraid you might be losing your mind

Your life feels so out of control

And you’re trapped in a deep, dark hole

And you’re probably going to be there all day

I wish I had something to say

Ah but maybe one day the clouds will blow by

And you’ll lift up your eyes and see the clear blue sky

Maybe that day will bring a fresh new start

With lots of love and understanding just a warming up your heart

And maybe one day the sweet music you hear

Will be a beautiful anthem for everything you hold dear

And maybe all of your dreams will come true that day

I wish I had something to say

Your earnest and your diligent eyes

Are just a ruse, just a clever disguise

Your remorseful and penitent look

Is begging everyone just to let you off the hook

Your problems, they don’t come from afar

You just can’t stand to be who you are

And that sad fact greets you each and every day

I wish I had something to say.
