I Wish (I Could Be We)
Words and Music by LL. White, c. 2020 Beglorifiedmusic BMI
VERSE II
I wish I could make you love…
I wish I could make you love me.
I wish I could change your hate;
Make flesh from a heart of stone.
CHORUS:
Ohhh, Oh, Oh, Oh
I wish ‘I', I wish ‘I’, I wish ‘I'
Ohhh, Oh, Oh, Oh
I wish ‘I', I wish ‘ I’, I wish ‘I'
Ohhh, Oh, Oh, Oh
I wish ‘I', I wish ‘ I’, I wish ‘I'
I wish I could be ‘we.’
Ojalá pudiera ser "nosotros
Dooooo, doooo, dooooo, doooo.
I wish I could be ‘we.’
Ojalá pudiera ser "nosotros
Dooooo, doooo, dooooo, doooo
Verse II
I wish I could make you see,
I’m no threat to humanity.
I wish I could make you love me,
because it’s the only way to peace.
BACK TO CHORUS
BRIDGE:
If the world could only learn
to esteem others higher than ourselves,
Then the world would be a better place;
than this crazy hell (on Earth).
BACK TO CHORUS
BRIDGE II
If love is in your heart,
You can do harm.
Together is a good place to start;
To walking arm in arm….
BACK TO CHORUS
I wish I could make you see,
We’re all made for God’s glory.
I wish I could make you love me,
‘cause it’s the only way to peace.
SPOKEN:
Meanwhile, what do you do when 81 plus million people agreed
While the rest went crazy!
Why can’t people be meek like the Jesus they say they believe in?
Do what’s best for ALL of society;
Let the law be for the lawless, equally.
Life must never be viewed superficially.
No matter what we believe,
We all got family,
We all bleed…
Cherish the life that’s given to us once, and then we cease.
Here’s the thing I don’t get:
Why is it so hard to follow a simple commandment?
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength
Then love your neighbor as yourself.
Why can’t you feel in your heart
How you treat me,
Shoot me, deny me, lie to me?
Haters infiltrating lovers;
It’s shocking to see they consists of ‘respectable’ fathers and mothers!
Evangelicals prophesying, chastising and aligning
With the “one" who has zero sympathy for the dying.
If you see me, then be me and I will be you
This is what love will do:
It makes I become we, become ‘me too'!
(Ojalá pudiera ser "nosotros)
BACK TO CHORUS
Chant I
When we are we,
We know what it feels like.
When we are ‘we'
We know what be like.
When we are we,
We know what it feels
What it be like
in real time.
(En Española)
cuando estamos,
sabemos lo que se siente,
cuando estamos,
sabemos cómo será
Chant II
All I wanna do is breathe, all I wanna do is breathe.
All I wanna do is breathe, all I wanna do is breathe.
God made me so I can breathe.
Will you remove your knee so I can breathe?
